SpaceX's Starship could revolutionize astrophysics by enabling faster and cheaper deployment of advanced space telescopes, potentially accelerating research timelines by decades.
Starship's large payload capacity and cost-effectiveness can speed up the deployment of next-generation space telescopes.
It can help avoid a gap in observatory capacity during the 2030s.
Starship allows for larger, simpler telescope designs and the use of more affordable materials.
Constrained budgets may delay the launch of new "Great Observatories" until the 2040s-2050s.
Current missions risk creating a gap in observatory capacity during the 2030s.
Intricate and risky folding designs are needed for telescopes due to payload constraints.
