Does anyone know about the plans for the 2025 laser guided telescope network? I remember hearing about them a long time ago, but haven't seen any news about it. I am curious to see the progress on these so called 'advanced telescopes' that could be 100 times more powerful than Hubble.

Wasn't this mentioned in a BBC documentary about space? The one with Sam Neill?

I know what you're talking about, but I honestly don't have a clue about its name.......
I think maybe it was just a proposal, but its hard to tell at this point.

I heard it ran into funding problems.

I probably know what you're talking about, reading Sky & Telescope somewhat regularly, but you're not giving me adequate description.
