As an amateur astrophotographer I’ve been following the development of cubesats closely. It seems more and more likely that a small group or an individual would be able to launch a space based telescope within my life time. Right now it’s a bit tricky still, and not really sure if you’re allowed to have a camera in space yet (might be considered espionage). But still, extremely cool ... maybe someday soon a crowd funded mini Hubble might be an option!
