Enjoyed your post, Kalakoa. Just one thing:
"Related: it's been said that ground-based telescopes are obsolete and we should be building telescopes in space."
Note that this hasn't been said by astronomers but by others who do not understand the field of observational astronomy. Space-based telescopes are great, but they can't do many things ground-based telescopes can do and are incredibly expensive.
