Right, Larry, we can't do it on orbit
so let's do it on the Moon.
Do you really think that a telescope at a La Grange point or elsewhere would have more radiation protection than one in orbit around the Earth? By the way, lunar regolith makes fine radiation shielding for computers.
I forgot to mention that for the orbital telescopes I want a network of large dedicated ground antennas and com links for them to a central processing facility. These can later be used with the Moon based telescopes.
