for some that live on the Edge, space base astronomy, because you can't drive to it, is bad.
Please find where I said that?
I have said that space based will not in the near future completely or significantly replace ground based, so we should maintain what we have, keep what works, and use can be repaired.
As ironyak’s Hawaii-centric link about the Nancy Grace Roman telescope also points out, ground based astronomy in Hawaii provided a valuable and crucial testing ground for components in the telescope recently launched.
I’m all for space based. I had planned to watch the JAXA mission to Mars launch but every room on Tanegashima is booked. I own space stock and bought long before the recent hullabal-IPO.
