My dream is to see a detailed, multi-pixel image of an exoplanet in my lifetime. A Solar Gravity Lens telescope could achieve that. If only America/NASA would finance such a project. An SGL telescope would be situated somewhere near the edge of the solar system, specifically where an Einstein ring is formed around the sun. This ring could be deconstructed to recover images of distant celestial bodies/exoplanets.
