Is there any advantage to a lunar based scope vs. a space based scope (in earth orbit)? Seems that one closer to home is a lot easier (not to mention cheaper) to upgrade and service, or...? Rich --- Dale Hooper <Dale.Hooper@sdl.usu.edu> wrote:
I think we should start it off by landing a Hubble "equivalent-sized" telescope or better on the moon which would eventually be serviced by the future astronauts. The telescope would have to be powered by RTG's (2 weeks of dark) and solar (2 weeks of light).
