RE: starship-design: MegaScope
Kelly and Timothy,
Yes I know it seems like a large aperature, but the only thing you can detect with
110 m resolution is Giant Jovian Gas Whales...

Lee & Kelly,
This would mean an increase of 4 orders in aperture radius (compared to 110
meter detail)
That would mean a radius of 150,000 kilometers. That seems a bit too large
for my taste.
