My favorite example is the proposal for the Overwhelmingly Large Telescope. Perfectly descriptive and utterly hilarious. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overwhelm

I’m waiting for someone to come out with a 500m BFT. You can figure out the acronym for that telescope yourself.

Whats needed is a constalation of satelittes in space, probably in meo, having multi spectral cameras, with optical zoom the likes of hubble, and structure similar to james web so its mostly reflector and electronics at focal point, could provide images of planets in other stars.
one of the first gamma ray source w/out optical counterpart ever identified, has been named 'Geminga', because is located in the Gemini constellation. but also 'g'è minga' means 'it's not there' in the local dialect of Milan (were the discovery group was based).
