Finally! People are talking about the SGL (Solar Gravitational Lens) telescope! Some of my PhD work was on this! It’s such a cool idea! And it’s actually feasible. Extremely difficult, but we can do it. The trick is getting multiple satellites out to 550 AU in a reasonable amount of time. But the Parker Solar probe showed us that a really tight slingshot around the Sun is possible. That coupled with solar radiation propulsion could get us out there in 20-40 years. It’s doable!

I think with Starship’s 100 ton capacity. We should create a massive 400 ton telescope that would come together in space in four huge pieces. Built specifically for viewing exoplanets.

we would then, as a people, strive to observe more and more of this planet. a collective effort from all people. finally something Humanity could focus on. and not just War

That'd be impossible though, not only would the focal point basically be in the ort cloud, but the optical axis would be moving like hundreds of kilometers a second

RTT latency on any command would take 6.35 days to acknowledge.
