Wow, I didn't know they're contemplating such a large one! Anyway, they say
it should theoretically be able to achieve a milliarc second resolution
(ignoring the atmospheric turbulence). The Apollo 3rd stage was about 17
meters long, while orbiting the Moon it would present an image about 9
pixels across (unless I'm waaay off in my calculation ... :-), so it *would*
be quite possible to image it, especially when nearer to Earth.
