Lagrangian Stereo Space Telescopes

After seeing Dr. Brian May's Cosmic Clouds 3D Book, I thought about stereo space telescopes. How fascinating it would be to deploy two space telescopes on the fourth and fifth Lagrange points. Initially on the Earth-Moon and then on the Sun-Earth.

"Lagrangian points L4 and L5 lie at 60° ahead of and behind the Moon in its orbit with respect to the Earth. These Lagrangian points are stable for the Earth-Moon mass ratio. As so, these Lagrangian points represent remarkable positions to host astronomical observatories or space stations." (Alternative transfer to the Earth-Moon Lagrangian points L4 and L5 using lunar gravity assist)

I propose my Yurt Rocket design to deploy these telescopes.
