Space/Science » in reply to Three. Thermal cycling and radiation belts. Also,no gyros needed.

Again, no attitude....

Thermal cycling would ALSO be an issue on the moon, more so than an orbital scope- so that doesnt work as an argument...

AS for : 336 hours vs. 90 minutes for a diurnal cycle.

well, again, that isnt relevant- the Hubble 'deep field 'was a MANY hour exposure- OBVIOUSLY orbital scopes can do long exposures....

As for Gyros, well- yeah orbital scopes need them, but a moon scope needs to track stars too- I still see NO reason why a moon based observatory is superior....
