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!

There are a couple of such telescopes being built right now at NASA. One should be in operation by the end of the decade, which will enable imaging of some surface detail on earth-size planets at other stars. If they do better than the recently demised CONTOUR.
