It's not a unique thought - Space dragons have been suggested by several people before, including me. Dragon elements and concepts are based on nature - the building blocks of the world (the basic elements), natural phenomena (Rainbow and Seasonal) and so on. Some dragons we already have don't fit this template, most notably the Olympus dragons. Space dragons probably would fit, since the stars and planets are visible from Earth in the night sky... but Space would probably make more sense as a rare element.

Light and Dark are the most likely choices for the next basic elements. They represent a very real part of nature, as well as "light magic" and "dark magic" for a mythical aspect - and there are many possibilities for hybrids based on natural light sources (like a Glowing dragon) or dark environments (such as a Cave dragon).
