That makes no sense to me, Steven. Why do you need to shut down an entire operation because one guy had child porn on his laptop. Just arrest the dude and give somebody else the job.

And why close down all the other solar observatories as well?

Sexual misconduct is the public shelter...

And why close down all the other solar observatories as well?

Things to consider about the solar observatory being shut down: three theories

Possibly Chinese students were the main observers...and possibly they were gathering and sending intel via the powerful antennas there? The first day, one of the first things the Fibbies did was work on the antenna array.

Possibly one can see White Sands Proving Grounds from there.

Hella sunspots going on, supposedly a YUGE one. Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!

I'm not buying the kiddie porn excuse...that seems like the raison de'etre; the cover story, for a lot of hinky stuff.
