It feels like we’re approaching a situation where good clean astronomical data is going to have to be collected off-world.

Like, people in astronomy must be talking about such a scenario and how far away it is and what needs to be done.

A moon base seems like an obvious solution with dishes and telescopes all over the place.

well polluting earth orbit with parasite radio frequencies is in SpaceX business model favor: that way the scientific communtiy well be obliged to have observatories beyond starlink orbit (ie Leo i think), so u would have to create ur cluster of radio astronomy satellites and would have to contract SpaceX to deliver them for you to the intended orbit…just a guess but one would think this way, since every company is profit driven after all.

to connect all moon based equipment, we could build a network transmitted by satalites orbiting the moon!
