I can't really see a business case where these guys would make a profit before their billionaire club gets bored. I don't think images from hundreds of little cameras are going to be equal the image from the Hubble or its replacement, the Webb. I hope these guys won't be another Iridium. Maybe the military is funding them: http://www.darpa.mil/Our_Work/TTO/Programs/Space_Enabled_Eff... |

My expertise in this field extends to reading several Wikipedia pages and sci-fi novels, but:
1. Wouldn't that depend on what they're trying to look at? Can the Hubble even focus on anything closer than Jupiter?
2. Wouldn't they be able to use interferometry to effectively surpass any single-lens telescope?
