Thatβs a hell of a lot of money for a single telescope.
Oh f yeaaaah.
Searching for dork energy in mere 6 years is worth it :D
I could show them some dorks a lot sooner for a lot less money.
Such massive amounts of dorkery capable of bending any bright thought!!
Let me tell you about the marvel at L2 called JWST
I mean, right here you can see telescopes being sold for $49.99 on Amazon. It makes one question the entire budgetary process behind this Euclid scope.
EDIT: Not to mention that the Amazon one comes with a tripod, and as best I can tell from this article and Wikipedia, the Euclid scope doesn't have anything of the sort. If we could get Josef Aschbacher here right now, I think that the no-tripod issue would definitely be an incisive question to raise with him.
