James Webb Telescope. The replacement for the Hubble Space Telescope.
The specs are impressive. The data collected by it will keep scientists busy for decades to come.

We so need a bigger space telescope.
Additionally, the Webb is an infrared telescope, and we don't presently have an operating
infrared telescope. Infrared telescopes have to be cold and they inevitably run out of coolant.

I think our first move should be to establish a manned base station at L2 and assemble telescopes
on site. It's easy to align mirror segments in space and there's no limit to the size. Having humans on hand
to do the assembly eliminates the complexity.

Using lunar iron you can construct a colossal radio telescope.

To build a base at L2, use lunar ice, which can be rocket fuel, radiation shielding, and life support.

Bigelow space modules are huge and lightweight, much better than the space station.

25 years and 11 billion to build a satellite that will last for 10 years.

They always over engineer these things. Hubble is way past it's sell by date. The data collected will keep scientists busy for decades. Sending stuff in to space is the most complicated thing humans do.
