Question: If SpaceX is successful in developing the Starship, couldn't they launch huge space telescopes for a very low cost? I'd imagine that SpaceXs efforts will be a net positive for astronomers in the end. If the satellite problems becomes too big, maybe they should offer discounts for launching space telescopes.
Another question.. if you are building a radio telescope in space, could you just use a thin foil that folds out like origami for the reflector?
