Re: [ATM] Interesting New Commercial Telescope Design

["Jacob Lauser" <23tauri@gmail.com>]

This reeks of the Emporer's new clothes... I am suspicious when anyone
magically makes flexure disappear by using (drumroll, please) Carbon
Fiber! ("Any residual or previously negligible flexure or torsion is
now entirely eliminated.")

Looks interesting, but what are we really paying for if most of the
"scope" is missing?

I'm not dogging the design, just asking some serious questions.
Whenever I look at a design, I ask myself whether the military would
buy it too. What do you guys think?
