Did you know that Moore's Law would likely have stalled after 2012 if it were not because of the European Southern Observatory?

When EUV feasibility was evaluated, the optics design was considered a potential showstopper given the complexities of manufacturing such smooth mirrors. It's only because of a manufacturing breakthrough for ESO’s telescope M2 mirrors that EUV was considered feasible by 2001.

Yet another example of why defunding science is going to hurt your industrial competitiveness

Yes, we had a great talk by the Schott Zerodur Manager, who described the multiple mutual pushes between astronomy needs and glass-ceramics development for industry applications. Went back and forth several times until current ESO ELT mirrors on one side and ultrastable litho facilities on the other.

That started in the 1970s...
