Googled a few examples from your list, all of them are retired.

Try to find orbiting telescopes that are actually active.

And even if they were all active (which they are not) then it is still just one or two telescopes per EM band. It should be hundreds.

Let's hope for a successful launch and deploy.

But as a comment: I really don't like this kind of "all or nothing" projects. Its extremely risky and if it fails, 20 years would be lost and billions of dollars would be lost. I hope once Starship is ready, some billionaire buys a thousand telescopes, throws them into a Starship and flies them all over the solar system. Seriously, its almost 2022. Why do we still only have 1 telescope up there? Why aren't there 100 telescopes on the dark side of the moon? Why aren't there 1000 space probes on their way to leave the solar system?

Also maybe the genocide in Xinjiang.

The constant attacks against India.

Daily sending war planes into Taiwan's air defense zone.

Using armed fishing vessels to militarily attack the Philippines.

Raiding the fishing grounds of poor countries by turning off transponders and sending hundreds of fishing vessels into their national waters at night.

Destroying world heritage nature reserves to steal fish.

And don't get me started about the crimes the Chinese Communists are doing to the Chinese people...

(1/3 of billionaires have died or disappeared)

How did that happen? Iirc, according to Hurun Report 10 years ago, some 80% of the upper class Chinese had an escape plan ready. You'd think, as a billionaire they have a plane waiting for them 24/7 to get out of the country.

You cannot travel abroad

In the border with Vietnam, at night you can cross the border for 5 yuan on one of the smuggler boats.

You have little recourse as a woman who is abused by men in power

Only country in the world with more female suicides than male suicides.

Also, no recourse if CCP thugs steal your stuff. Guy I knew had his Ferrari stolen. Couldn't do anything because the thief was a local party functionary's son.

There are so many things, I could write an entire book. So here is one of literally thousands of crimes the CCP commits:

It sends armed fishing boats[0] into the territorial waters of other countries to plunder its fishes. At night, PRC boats turn off their (mandatory) transponders, enter the waters to steal fish, then leave the territorial waters and turn their transponders back on. At times, you can watch it life on marinetraffic.com

For instance, last year a huge fleets of PRC fishing vessels raided the nature reserve around the Galapagos Islands[1] and destroyed much of the fauna around the islands. Same tactic was used, they turn off their transponders, steal what they can, and then turn the transponders back on.

Again, this is just one tiny topic of thousands of crimes the CCP and their thugs commit on a daily basis.

The sooner the Chinese people are freed of that criminal organization, the better. Look at Taiwan: they are Chinese too, and they have one of the best run governments and most democratic systems in the world.

Also, I don't like that questions like your's are downvoted. Its a legitimate question and not everybody has the time to focus on PRC politics and the crimes of the CCP.

Creators should also upload their content to YT competitors like Odysee or Rumble. They may not make much money there now, but those sites can only grow if creators start using them.

I am subscribed to Nebula too, but that is more of a curated site of already established creators. I'd rather see again the open and free YT of ten years ago.
