Quest to Build a #Telescope on #Moon
If #FarView #radiotelescope is built, it would double as a demonstration of two unprecedented activities: mining and manufacturing in #space.
The moon has advantage of being 100,000s of miles away from earthly electronics; on the far side of the moon, in particular, there's virtually no noise from human technology or the Earth's magnetosphere. If FarView is built, it would be able to detect some of the oldest light in existence.
