What rason could you give for placing an opical telescope into orbit instead of a radio telescope?

I can think of two big reasons right off the top of the bat:
1). Radio signals are influenced by a trip through the atmosphere much less than
optical ones are, so the downside of observing them from the surface is far less.
2). Radio telescopes operate at wavelengths that are perhaps 15,000 times the
wavelengths at which optical instruments do. So for comparable sensitivity and
resolution, a radio telescope has to be 15,000 times the size of an optical one.
Armed with this fact, your average Congressperson is not likely to support the
program to fund a proposed Jansky Space Radio Telescope.

What is histology technician training?
Histology technician training is when you prepare tissue samples for pathologists to analyse. This could include placing tissue from a human body, plants and animals under a telescope. The work also involves dehydrating and freezing the tissue.

What limitation of a refracting telescope could be 'overcome by placing the telescope in space?
If the telescope were placed in space (like hubble) the images would be greatly improved due to the lack of both atmosphere and ambient light, such as streetlights. The lack of atmosphere means that the light from distant objects need not travel through turbulent gases found in the atmosphere. this would eliminate the 'twinkling' of stars, and the lack of ambient light would result in much greater detail in the image.
