There's a scheme where you can launch telescopes out to 500 AU and use the Sun as your gravitational lens to potentially even *image* exoplanets. But I guess we'll be sending space dads back to the Moon instead.https://twitter.com/QuantaMagazine/status/1448666662174085122 …
I don't understand the connection between big rockets and having to have a crew on them

Science and exploration doesn't get rockets built. They get built for the military, for profitable projects, or for politics. Sending crew up wins (a few) votes so helps get rockets built, and crew is primary thing pushing the rockets to be bigger.

I want crew on rockets for the same reason you want incentives for red state farmers to install wind turbines.
