Wide-field imaging from space should not forget the dispersive dimension. We consider the capability of space-based imaging with a slitless grism: because of the low near-infrared background in space and the high sky-density of high redshift emission line galaxies this makes for a very powerful redshift machine with no moving parts. A small 1m space telescope with a 0.5 degree field of view could measure redshifts for 10^7 galaxies at 0.5
