Re: [ATM] Interesting New Commercial Telescope Design

I don't know about you but if the military would buy it, I probably
wouldn't.  I don't want an over designed obsolete piece of equipment. 
Just look at the computers that the space shuttle is using.  While I
think this particular design has some problems, it does get down to
irreducible minimums and it certainly looks "cutting edge".
