WILL there be a need to build a Bigger Better Visible light Telescope in Space?

Sure there will be continuing benefit to space telescopes, especially an adaptive array of large size such as a few million miles across. That one should be able to read a license plate on Beta Lyrae. There is probably a hardcore amateur somewhere who is doing some adaptive optics of his own, wouldn't that be a kick?

Wow...Okay, so I thought flying through an Aurora show was cool and you just had to show me up with a million mile diameter virtual telescope! RW, UR2much! LOL! And of course we'd want to put a LIGO Gravimetric measurement system between the optical elements so we'd have a Gravity Wave detector of unbelievable sensitivity! We'd be able to play Who dropped the neutron star out to the edge of the Universe!
