Aling the lines of what ISM was talking about, a plan I read abou involves sending a hubble like telescope to orbit Jupiter. Somehow they would link it up with other terrestrial telescopes and, in effect, have a telescope with a mirror with the diameter of the distance from erath to jupiter. This is part of the strategy to be able to "see" (rather than just observe star wobble) other planets orbiting other stars. Pretty cool.
