I've often wondered, if one had a big enough lens, or an effectively big enough lens (and a massive amount of processing power), if this was possible. Apparently, people much, much cleverer than me have thought about it a lot and will be allowed to keep thinking about it with a budget.
I suspect I will never see an image of an extra-solar planet. But it would be very, very cool
"Even in the presence of the solar corona, the SNR is high enough that in 6 months of integration time one can reconstruct the exoplanet image with ~25 km-scale surface resolution, enough to see surface features and signs of habitability."
