And just what advantage and how could this top what we get from the hubble space telescope?
It's much larger and thus has far more light-gathering capability than Hubble.
And adaptive optics techniques that constantly and automatically compensate for atmospheric distortion mow greatly reduce the advantage of optical space telescopes over ground-based ones.
The Hubble Space Telescope has a primary mirror with a with an eight foot diameter mirror. Compare this to the 100 foot mirror of this new telescope.
No advantave someone just figured out how th scam the Gov out of a Billion dollars! We have a space station for a plat form that does not have to look through miles of atnosphere and as the Gentleman said the Hubble!
They want to laso an Asteriod when the moon is already there!
They want to put it in the /moons orbit! Well how much farther is the effin moon!
Oh by the way ISS hows those algea growing and puter chips goin!
The costliest aspect of space travel is the vehicle to break the bounds of gravity!
Send the stuff build a vehicle @ the ISS.
The Shuttle Sysytem was the ground floor of putting parts and fuel on the ISS Send two welders and plumber to build the thing and Vala! Space travel!
Agreed. And how does one measure “the beginning of time.” If the stars are so many light years away, please explain how that can be proved. Please, please.. I want to know. Already know, but have to hear it now, so lonely. (ha ha)
