  1. Hi, I'm not really Astronomy enthusiast, I'm rocket enthusiast. If this post doesn't belong here or if it is in wrong section I apologize, please tell me I will delete it. I've created this account to ask one question: I've been wondering what kind of cargo could fully take advantage of the SpaceX Starship. And the biggest thing that came to my mind was large mirror space telescope, so I did a little bit of googling and found out that the biggest mirrors are about 8.4 meters in diameter, which is almost exactly the inside diameter of the Cargo Starship. Meaning that one or multiple Starship lunches could theoretically assemble a space telescope in the same configuration as James Webb Space Telescope made form 18 hexagonical mirrors each 8.4 meters in diameter. One mirror would have area of about 46m2, that is 825m2 for the entire telescope. My question is what would telescope like be used for? What would be it's capabilities? (I know basically nothing about telescopes so practical examples are welcome. For example: "It could directly image planets around other stars." etc.) Thank you for your answers.
