The vlbi has dozens of 20m dishes, they have satellites with 10m diameters and Orion is thought to have 100m diameter. We’ve launched larger into space already, and the VLBI has used space telescopes to increase its size already as well.

So to claim we can’t sensibly launch any, when we have them up there already is plain wrong.

Yes, I just wrote about that above. It's just the difference in cost between the two. How many large space observatories were there altogether? In the order of dozens maybe?
