- Really great idea! But one still has to buy a telescope and send it to this guy, I think it would be cool if one could just rent everything at once. For non-serious people that have a lot of money that they would like to put to use looking at the stars. Or maybe a time-share like concept.

> 550 telescopes
So about ~55 to 60k USD a month to just have some telescopes on your land? Nice little earner.

- Far from unique! There were and are telescope hosters in the Atacama Desert, which is as good as it can possibly be for the amateurs.

I want to get it pointing out overflights and satellites by name, but I'm not there yet.
- What do people do with this astronomical data?
Why do they pay for this?

- I would never have thought of this, but it is really cool. Living in the city with light pollution, we can see a dozen or so on the best nights.
What an ingenious business idea.

- Colter Mccorkindale’s comment is the best part.
“Sooo....the stars at night really are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas?”
- Not, in fact, optical interferometry :(
- sadly won't be possible for anything serious next decade as each space trillionaire and country launches their own 10,000+ constellations
sky will be constantly twinkling, will be weird
we'll have to switch to space telescopes above LEO
