Get off my lawn!

Sure looks like the right time to rebuild it with state of the art equipment. But NOT all financed by the USA.

Built between 1960 and 1963.
A lot of new tech between then and now. Still sad though. Been to San Juan a couple times....toured the Bacardi plant...fun! Never went to the Arecibo.

I like going to large scientific sites. VLA, Wallops Island, the NASA sites, Palomar in the day, etc. I am not sure it has any utility given Hubble, etc. I'll be interested to see what happens.

Yep.... where's Pazuzu? Is this relic still worthwhile with all the smaller linked arrays spread all over and with the stuff we have in orbit now? Still sucks though...

I've been there more than once. Sad from an historical POV but technically very much behind. The site still has value for non-optical work, certainly as good a site as Green Bank W Va.

Arecibo and VLA are radio telescopes. Hubble is optical. The VLA is far more capable than Arecibo due its size... VERY Large Array. I am looking forward to what we will learn from the upcoming Webb telescope (optical Hubble successor).

Actually visited Aricebo back in the early 00's. It was kind of cool. The topography around the place is really strange. Like giant mounds (narrower and more vertical than what I consider to be a hill) scattered about, all covered in dense jungle-like foliage. The place seemed a little worn out already back then.
