Joint astronomical ventures between the US and Mexico! WTH??? I'm sure we paid for most of it. We entered into joint ventures with Mexico knowing full-well Mexico couldn't and wouldn't be able to guarantee the safety and utilization of the site. Way to go America! Yeah, we taxpayers love this crap.

Might as well blow up the optical telescope and hand out the shards of glass to peasants. They could use the prettiest ones on which to serve tamales to their friends. Hundred-thousand-dollar serving platters thanks to the gringos. Gracias!

Tell me again: Why are we allies or friends with this nation?

Don’t get too upset. You need to put these telescopes at high altitude and in places that have clear dark skies. That rules out most of the US these days. One of the best places, the McDonald Observatory in Ft. Davis Texas is seeing slow but steady encroachment and increasing levels of light pollution.

This is the most common use of glass shards in Mexico.

Not much for a taco dish.

One is a radio telescope, the other is an array tanks with filled with water and sensors.
