Reply to comment by Timetraveler01110101 in It’s a crime against humanity that we don’t have a live feed telescope in space. by Timetraveler01110101

Science. Astrophysicists can use the telescopes to learn how the universe actually works and refine theories. Telescopes are expensive and complicated to put in space and they can make better use of those then we can.

For just public interest telescopes on earth will do just fine if you setup the right equipment. Some of the newer automated one can do the entire process from image acquisition to stacking and auto post-processing live.

I refuse to accept your line of thinking. Until we have FTL travel might as well enjoy looking up while we learn

You can look up anytime you want. No one is stopping you. You can even buy a telescope if you want.
