Just wondering, what sort of manufacturing and support facillities would be required to construct a large scale optical observatory on the moon. As long as we are there we might as well throw in a large radio telescope array too. Would a good portion of the raw material be available on the moon or would we have to haul most of it up there. Once the project is constructed what other use could these manufacturing facilities serve, long term?
