      Tricky question.

      Now, with about 13 years to retirement and me fully committed to the Plato project, I don’t think I’d switch. If I were younger, then yes, possibly.

      Bear in mind that Prof. Hawking is a theorist and doesn’t really do space-telescope projects. As an engineer, the scientists I work with are mainly observers.
