US scientists have drawn up plans to build the largest telescope ever
seen.
Its 30-metre-diameter mirror would be almost 10 times as big as those
in the
Keck telescopes in Hawaii, currently the world's largest observatories.

I feel very, very strongly, that they should make it a dob.
Let's lobby congress.

Sorry to respond to my own post, but the article says:
The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation is funding a $17.5m feasibility
study and it could be ready for work by 2012.
This has to be a joke, right? Seventeen Million Dollars for a
feasability study? That's insane.
