LSST: "An optimized design for LSST is a 8.4 m telescope with a 3 degree ¯eld of view and an optical throughput of 260 m2 deg2. With its large throughput and dedicated all-sky monitoring mode, the LSST will reach 24th magnitude in a single 10 second exposure, opening unexplored regions of astronomical parameter space. The heart of the 2.3 Gpixel camera will be an array of imager modules with 10 ¹m pixels. Once each month LSST will survey up to 14,000 deg2 of the sky with many »10 second exposures."

What! Mag 24 in 10 freakin seconds? Mega! I'm impressed by this and the other programs.
So much for our local gassbag's refrain of "We need a multi-billion NASA boondoggle base on the far side of the moon to find NEOs."

And these innovative projects do more and for less money than NASA's proposal. Gee, now that's a surprise. I hate to say it but NASA is an albatross to real space exploration and innovation and not an enabler.
