It's not physically impossible. But the engineering reality isn't promising.
You'd need micro-meter alignment accuracy across the constellation for optical observation. For radio observation it might be possible - but I'm not sure if it would be useful.
Launching complimentary ordinary space-telescopes would also be good PR.
There are enough panels available to do both and there is no overlap in financing for both. So just do every installation that is economically viable, they don't compete for money or panels.
How expensive is it to not build a single-purpose building like an office or housing condo in the first place, but a true multipurpose building that can do both well with manageable retooling costs?
Some of that is lost due to regulatory 70% limits during peak times.
Also the rated capacity is for some synthetic sun conditions. I have no idea what's the conversion factor between ideal sun in Germany and the PV rating sun.
The control group is needed to measure process properties / systematic error.
It does not need to be a placebo group. Previous data at the same hospital does not help because the regular medicine does not run according to study protocols.
Asteroids on earth have been changed by the environment on earth. Part of it during entry, part of it during impact, part just lying there for long times.
The Ryugu sample provides an opportunity to check our understanding of the changes that happened to asteroids on earth.
You care too much about the vehicle. What they are testing isn't the vehicle, they are testing the production processes.
I'm confident the vehicle design will work once they get a handle on the production. They got really good simulation tools for the vehicle flight part of the problem.
Modern medicine has some aspects that are miraculously good and it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that those are representative for all of medicine. It's a kind of halo effect bias.
In my opinion the most amazing thing still is antibiotics (and vaccination). Treatmeant of war/vehicle/sports injuries taking the second place (including anesthetics).
Both can take people from a path of sure death within hours or days to often complete recovery within weeks or months.
If that is the performance expectation of the general public for all of medicine, then it certainly is overrated.
Still we as a society usually decide not ban things that hurt only irresponsible people. There is an exception to this for children, but they are banned from driving already.
If the autopilot crashes start resulting in a number of deaths outside of the drivers car that might shift the public opinion.
I think the history is one of a failed economic subsidy program that accidentally accelerated the PV-industry by a few years.
There were several growing PV manufacturers in germany up to around 2011/2012. In that timeframe the manufacturers were all busy building new factories, but the government noticed that the subsidy program became large enough to be expensive and suddenly severely cut the subsidies.
None of the manufacturers survived that, the remains were sold to the chinese.
