that's actually a fascinating idea. think about how humanity solves the environment problems and fusion works out, bringing global peace and prosperity for once. Now a smallish rock comes from space. We don't see it, because of "we go to mars, bro"-elon making ground based astronomoy infeasible and debris from crashes from his great internet satellites making 9/10 new launches fail. so, even if we saw it, we couldn't launch a nuke to deflect it. BOOM. There was the USA and Elons android son is just reduced to dust by his daddies hybris.
- m4rtink 6y agoSpace based observation of objects on potential collision course with Earth is far superior to earth observatio. For example you can't really observe anything coming from the direction of the sun. Look up NEOCam project that aims to have a near Earth asteroid telescope in solar orbit.
- fock 6y agohow many space-based telescopes are there? And how many will where be, once 9/10 launches fail?

- fock 6y agoThis was never meant to be a real thing, but I fantasized. Some people then told me that our some dozen space telescopes are sooo much better. How do you know by the way that this will never happen?
