Built by European Southern Observatory. Site to be chosen by late 2008 (southern hemisphere). Contstruction starts 2010. Fully operational 2017. $81.3M in design and $1.1B in construction. Who knows, perhaps someone's pipe dream or an overzealous contractor chasing European gov't funds. Note that they have been given 57M euro.
