My socialist space proposal

Assemble large, lightweight telescopes at the space station, using erector style assembly with micro bots, under human control. Get the gains from scale, make many of these telescopes with apertures of five or six meters and up. Light weight electronics and sensors. Automate their construction around the space station then send them aloft to stare at various parts of the universe. Make it the global past time to show the most brilliant pieces of the universe.
