A solution of a Devil’s advocate - put telescopes in space

Abstract We present a solution of a devil’s advocate to put telescopes in space, as one possible way to mitigate the impact on astronomy and on the night sky of recent large satellite constellations. The limitations of telescopes in space versus on Earth are noted. However, the solution draws from the history of telescopes that had to be moved from major human settlements to rural areas in the past; and it poses que question if it is possible that the future may lead to similar moves of putting telescopes in space, as satellites become a major human development similar to human development of cities that pushed telescopes out of cities to rural areas in the past.
