Your second thought to include the moon sound very interesting. So, is
their an offer to the nasa or the government to get some help? Please
excuse, when I ask so easy here. I mean a big radio telescope in a moon
crater will found many other scientist interest and today this is
makeable.
Easier would be to have a BIG "SKA" type array in space at the
Earth-Moon Lagrange point beyond the moon. No need to make a gentle
landing on the moon for all the parts! Also, any non-functional elements
can be simply allowed to drift out of the way and another brought in as
required.
Keeping that lot sychronised would be a good technical challenge (;-))
The various Lagrange points are going to get crowded...
Take a look at NASA's present list of new 'big' projects.
Have fun,
Martin
