Other than an engineering project, what could we look at with a 25 m+ telescopes? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Meter_Telesco"

The purpose of 25+ meter telescopes is to provide scientists with a powerful tool for observing and studying celestial objects in the universe. With a larger diameter, these telescopes have a greater light-gathering ability, allowing for more detailed and accurate observations.
25+ meter telescopes differ from smaller telescopes in both their size and capabilities. These larger telescopes have a much larger diameter, allowing for a greater amount of light to be collected and clearer images to be produced. They also have advanced technology and instrumentation, making them more sensitive and precise in their observations.
25+ meter telescopes can be used for a wide range of projects and studies in astronomy and astrophysics. These may include studying distant galaxies and their formation, observing exoplanets and their atmospheres, and investigating the origins of the universe.
Building 25+ meter telescopes is a highly complex and challenging task. The sheer size and weight of the telescope components require advanced engineering and construction techniques. Additionally, the telescope must be built in a way that minimizes any potential distortions or imperfections in the optics to ensure the highest quality observations.
The development of 25+ meter telescopes has been made possible by advancements in technology, particularly in the fields of optics, materials science, and computer control systems. These advancements have allowed for the production of larger and more precise telescope mirrors, as well as more sophisticated instrumentation for data collection and analysis.
