Related, I wonder when it will become economical to build scanners in orbit around earth (or on the moon) as radiation from the sun does contain EUV components but the terrestial athmosphere is opaque to them so we receive none on the ground (your dermatologist is pretty happy about that). It might actually be one of the first things a space colony could make money with.
