What would be the point? Data collection and image processing takes a loooooooong time. Scientific telescopes aren't "tape a camera to one end and take a snapshot".

Why does it have to be a deep space image? We could look at local space earth or the moon? Even things in our own galaxy would look cool.

You do that just fine from Earth. For a lot less money.

Why wouldn’t you want a telescope I space? We waste so much time, energy and resources fighting each other. Why would you not want something that would excite the next generation about space and space travel?

I mean...do a kickstarter. Get it done. I just don't see the point when we have better instruments for cheaper.

But then again I don't much care for pretty pictures...i'm more into the science of it.
