In 10 years we can send a bigger, simpler, cheaper, one-piece, non-foldable telescope in Starship for a fraction of the cost. The biggest saving wouldn't even be the launch costs - it would be the simple design allowed by relaxing the volume and mass constraints.

If only most of the cost was folding it (and if only Elon Musk's solutions somehow changed all the problems to fit them).
