yes exactly, huge mirrors at a price thats none too silly, by that I mean you wouldnt need a Government grant to get one you could conceivably privately buy one. If you look back a little, say 1970 an 8" was pretty good, now its common to have a 10" or 16" even. Will people be buying (or making?) 30 plus inch mirrors in a few years?. The mirrors are out there if you wanted to build one yourself.....
