But as a comment: I really don't like this kind of "all or nothing" projects. Its extremely risky and if it fails, 20 years would be lost and billions of dollars would be lost. I hope once Starship is ready, some billionaire buys a thousand telescopes, throws them into a Starship and flies them all over the solar system. Seriously, its almost 2022. Why do we still only have 1 telescope up there? Why aren't there 100 telescopes on the dark side of the moon? Why aren't there 1000 space probes on their way to leave the solar system?

Try to find orbiting telescopes that are actually active.
And even if they were all active (which they are not) then it is still just one or two telescopes per EM band. It should be hundreds.
