Future space telescopes
Future space telescopes could be made from thin membranes, unrolled in space to enormous size
Interesting article on the future of space telescopes so the idea seems interesting as it allows deployment of large telescopes in space quickly.
The JWST is 6.5 meters, the ELT is 39 meters (ground based) as the JWST is foldable then the technology is already there.
This could offer some real opportunity to make strides forward, as we have seen with the JWST. Larger telescopes allow for the collection of more light, I would guess that telescopes can be built to collect different light e.g. UV, Visible and IR.
Should be good.
