Hi
It's been a long time since my physics lessons :huh: , but the way I understood it there is a dark side of the moon, i.e. not touched by the sun, which would make an observatory (automatic/robotic?) a viable solution. Most observatories in Earth are complaining about light pollution, so that would be another advantge!
On the other hand, given the current account deficit and the debt run up by the federal government I see no way of getting the money necessary for those projects! The ISS has cost up to 100 billion $ and has not achieved a decent return.
good hunting
