This came out in April of last year. There's nothing new and startling here. An IR astronomer doesn't think the Moon is a good place to do IR astronomy, and his free-space SAFIR design is a much better way to go.

Not a whole lot that's startling there. He's someone who's advancing his agenda, something that all of us do.

So why bring it up now?
