RE: starship-design: Re: Go Starwisps
Kelly,
We can't even determine telescopically whether MARS can support life and it is
practically next door. I don't want to seem like I'm being facetious, but I think a
resolution of 1 meter at 10 light years is reasonable. We might be able to spot
gross life forms at that resolution.

Actually The largest scope I mentioned was Hundreds of thousands of miles
across. Thou the calculations are a good Idea. To a degree you could scale
up the scopes to any size nessisary. How big would it need to be?
