I hold Pierce Brosnan responsible for that damage...
... but ... but the James Bond movie showed it destroyed way before 2020 ...
I wonder if they found Sean Bean’s remains.
(Mulder and Sculley went there, that's practically diagnostic of imminent destruction)Is such a thing even possible? Yes, it is.
according to NASA, our planet is safe from deadly asteroid impacts for at least the next 100 years.
Well, I know I will sleep better tonight...
I am INVINCIBLE!
:^D
“Collapsed Arecibo telescope”
Not too smart to put telescopes in the Third World.
I ended up getting kinda lost, but figured if I kept heading west it would be all ok eventually. I ended up at the Dominion Radio Observatory which is in the very middle of nowhere

I parked in the parking lot 1/4 mile away cause they did not need the car electronics messing up the alien signal reception and walked to check it out.
The Scientists were very cool and let me in and watch them reposition the dish and do some measurements.
Sad. Are they going to ever rebuild it, or build something similar somewhere?
Is such a hairstyle even possible? Yes, it is!
I understand that the site will become a STEM learning center.
Perhaps one is Wormwood???
We safe for the next 100 years unless Gates decides to interfere.
One of it’s support cables broke in Aug. 2020 and wasn’t fixed. Imagine that in Puerto Rico. In Nov., surprise!, another cable broke causing the collapse and complete destruction. Oh, well, no worries, tax dollars might one day build another.
Why?
The Greenbank radiotelescope was replaced after it failed unexpectedly. I don’t think there is any plan to rebuild Arecibo. As nice as it was, probably makes more sense to build a big ‘un nearer to the Equator.
Nice!
