Isn't there an arbitrage opportunity here? Surely people with no interest in astronomy could put themselves on the waiting list, buy the scope after however many years, then on-sell it to impatient astroaddicts at a premium. After all, you've just saved them 8 years.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. (I guess there is no way, psychologically speaking, that you could allow yourself to admit disappointment anyway.)
Cheers,
Brian.
