Leading American astronomers are advocating for NASA's next generation of space telescopes to be launched using giant rockets like SpaceX's Starship or Blue Origin's New Glenn. These rockets offer greater lift capabilities, allowing telescopes to be larger and more complex without the constraints of mass and volume limitations. The astronomers believe that taking advantage of these new launch vehicles will revolutionize future astronomy missions and enable the study of exoplanets and the formation of stars, black holes, and galaxies. NASA is expected to follow the recommendations of the scientific community and begin development of these new telescopes by the end of the decade.
