I'd love to put the telescopes in space too. No more atmospheric distortion!

    It's possible I just put myself in spaces that contain less opposing ideological beliefs. I tend to avoid people that seem unwilling to even consider other options or possibilities. So you might have a point. I actually have no idea. It would be interesting if we could get exact numbers on the overall human races beliefs and opinions on things

    Today's cheap satellites provide benefits to humanity, but I also recognize the impact against observation science. I would support a tax on each satellite launched (perhaps based upon the satellite's albedo) to fund the design, building, launch and maintenance of the far more useful space based telescopes so that Astronomical science can still continue with these even better tools.
