Rotating Mercury Lunar Observatory

Fraser Cain writes "Universe Today is reporting on a proposal under consideration by NASA from Dr. Robert Angel at the University of Arizona. He wants to build a 100-meter liquid mirror telescope into a crater on the Moon. It would only be able to look at a specific spot in the sky, but the view would bury Hubble's Deep Field Survey." The challenges of off-Earth construction are left as an exercise for the reader.
