    Biggest is not best of course. The best we’re likely to see in our lifetimes is the Hubbke successor, the James Webb space telescope, dur to launch next year after many slippages. I expect it will slip again due to covid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Webb_Space_Telescope …

        Unlikely. Earth surveillance imaging systems are a different and much easier game, even at Future James Bond levels.

        They did offer NASA a couple of their defunct scopes after hubble went sideways, didn't they? Assume those were intended for outward imaging (??)

        Isn't that fairly well known? They've certainly offered NASA their unwanted stuff in the past. Though, I imagine the JW will be slightly more useful for astronomy, being pointed outward 😜

        I'm sure NKorean state media would tell us that NASA could stand to learn the truths of the universe by observing the washing line of their boy Bodhisattva, who doodles unified field theory onto his briefs during boring meetings
