CNC and machine tool technology have advanced leaps and bounds in the commercial and even hobby/private sector, but there hasn't been a corresponding "home lens grinding" movement...
A way to capture exposure information?
That isnt affected by wind.....maybe they could couple one to an all terrain vehicle like the mars rover, with a scissor lift and laser guided focusing, could also self loading sheet film/paper cartridge.......and a cooler to keep your drinks...and an umbrella.....maybe all radio controlled so you can just sit back and operate it from a lap top......that would be cool, very expensive, but cool. Or you could just get a pack mule.A feather weight 16x20 camera.

I trust you're aware that you can already get this from several existing film SLRs using the product offered by PHOTRIO sponsor Meta35:

Check in with the astronomers... While the majority of the work is focused on mirror based optical systems, there is still decent movement in the realm of lens grinding there. I've been collecting notes and working on a few side projects for tool design. [But as a current apartment dweller, it can be slow going...]
I have been aware of mirror grinding for reflecting telescopes since the 1970's, but haven't heard too much about actual lens grinding. Might make better sense to work with the upcoming Korean Lens Manufacturers and sub it out...
