In the light of the first recommendation of this committee for NASA to lead a direct imaging mission capable of measuring the reflected-light spectra of temperate terrestrial planets orbiting Sun-like stars, and the undoubtedly significant cost, long lead time, and technical complexity of such a project, collaboration with foreign space agencies and associated exoplanet scientists and engineers is a logical path, and may be a necessary path. From a scientific point of view, there is already great enthusiasm in both Europe and Asia to potentially participate in such a mission.

From page 131... ...
science is probing molecular oxygen in the transmission and reflected-light spectra of temperate terrestrial planets, requiring optical high-dispersion spectroscopy, and in the case of reflectedlight studies in combination with high-contrast imaging. For all telescope projects, such instrumentation still has a long lead time, needing significant technology development (such as making extreme adaptive optics work in the optical)
