Intereasting conversation going on here. LFL I like what you post about feelings and not going back to the old you. It is helping me with some things I am working on.

Glob, I once heard about a a space-based interferometer? if that is the correct term, in orbit out past Jupiter. That sounds like it might take lots of $$$$ with lots of zeros. Also what are the technical limitations.

I watched a science program about an Optical Astronomy Observatory in the Andes (Two 6.5 Meter Telescopes) at Las Campanas Observatory??

What quality of images do they produce compared to Hubble or the proposed equipment in orbit past Jupiter? Web sites appreciated but not necessary. i see you spend a lot of time replying to posts so I don't expect you to do anything lengthy. I Googled interferometer Juiter but did not come up with information about the proposed equipment in orbit some day.

About your situation and replys.
Sorry to see you in the situation. Like LFL said, waiting a year is too long. But you know what you can or can't do. I am not there, you are.
