Wife and I visited the big dish some years back. It’s a beautiful thing, featured in movies.

Thank you for posting the correct excerpt. (Proudly posting without reading the articles since 1998.)

Did anyone ask, "What happens if this cable breaks?"
Redundancy?

I would not be remotely surprised to hear this was the work of the Chinese. They are evil.
To: BenLurkin
Who cares, big waste of time and money. What’s it gonna cost to clean up the mess and return it to it’s natural state?

It was built by a consortium of American universities with US government financing.
It provides useful information.

Used to fly over it in a light plane when I lived in PR in the early ‘70s. Probably old technology now.

Right. I was looking for the excerpt to actually expand on the title, hence my consternation when it didn’t - and I was forced to read the article.
I’m intellectually lazy, I admit!

Maybe what allowed it to happen was the “manana”(sic) tradition in Latin America and the Caribbean. I’m referring to the old 1940s/50s song, “Manana is Good Enough for Me”.

A friend and I toured the site a couple of decades ago and had a phenomenal lunch at a roadside shack that had goats and chickens mixing with the clientele and cooks. It was packed and in front of us were a pair of lovely young chiquitas! The telescope was fairly boring.
