Thanks for taking the time to do this. I've read many of the questions and responses - fascinating.
My question: Since the Hubble ended up costing 7-10 billion, it seems the next one could be much cheaper. But my real question is, why don't we send a telescope further out into space where there is less sunlight (and earth-light)? Wouldn't the pictures be much clearer? To me, it seems we should have at least 2 telescopes out there...
