Space based observation of objects on potential collision course with Earth is far superior to earth observatio. For example you can't really observe anything coming from the direction of the sun. Look up NEOCam project that aims to have a near Earth asteroid telescope in solar orbit.

how many space-based telescopes are there? And how many will where be, once 9/10 launches fail?

This is not a real thing that will happen.

This was never meant to be a real thing, but I fantasized. Some people then told me that our some dozen space telescopes are sooo much better.

How do you know by the way that this will never happen?
