. For him, the observatory has had"an incalculable impact in the communities of PR."
The 22-year-old undergrad student is in his last year of college and has been working as an astronomy researcher in the Planetary Habitability Laboratory for more than two years. Theis a research and educational virtual lab from the University of Puerto Rico in Arecibo that uses the radio-telescope to study the habitable universe.
"I can go around with people showing the observatory and he would be in the control room doing observations," Méndez spoke about Ortiz's work.is the discovery of the first extrasolar planets in 1992 and was the first to see a planet orbiting a sun-like star in 1995.
"We are not complaining about the engineering evaluation, we know that there are risks,'' said Méndez.asking for action to save the observatory."We respectfully request that you allocate the funds necessary to enable NSF to continue exploring options to safely stabilize the structure and maintain the telescope and surrounding areas," González's letter said."We understand that funds could be used to stabilize and immediately work on the repairs.
Despite NSF's position, some scientists, including Méndez, believe that with a true commitment from several organizations, including the NSF, the telescope could be saved, restored or even rebuilt.Scientists in a control and observation room have a conversation near computer monitors showing position and data from the world's largest radio telescope, located just outside, at the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center, in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, Nov. 16, 2006.
NSF told ABC News in a statement that it"has not decreased funding for the observatory. To the contrary, on top of Arecibo Observatory's operational budget, NSF provided millions of dollars for new equipment and technology, representing an investment in the observatory's future."

Even if you were to tear it down and build a new one, the manufacturing defaults in the cables would have to be worked out first.
Arecibo is a scientific heritage!
Uuhh.... was this in battlefield 4?!
Please, repair it this is a historic relic. Option 1 we can coat this radio telescope to protect it from the humid environment and repair and upgrade the components. Option 2 may need nanotechnology to repair it.
They can perhaps arrange a bake sale, or a magazine drive. They're smart, they'll figure something out.
It'd cost less to build a new one than to repair it.
I got to go up top. No one gets to go “up top”. I did. Absolutely terrifying and fantastic.
Anyone ask if elonmusk can kick in a bit?
🥳🥳🥳🥳➕
Hi, please check out my gig if you need any kind of graphic design
Please help! elonmusk
N E W S M A X . true news
Goldeneye 🤩
nice
If theres a way to fix the problem it seems worth fixing the problem and you would think theres a way to fix the problem
Why can't convert that into telescope? replace shingles with mirrors
They in no position to demand anything unless they paying for it.
This has got to be restored. No ifs and buts. It's a national treasure and an irreplaceable piece of scientific and astronomical history.
Do they have any idea how much repair and major renovation would cost?
It is it in operation? Mfer sitting on the shelf like an N64 saying put me in coach
Lots of science from ABC News lately. Have you put your offering in the plate.....?
90% of news about covid and trump
This is from N64 goldeneye.
Better off demolishing it and building a new one there.
Pues lo tenéis hecho unos zorros
Show me the money.......
Very important!
Bf4 vibes
At least make it a historical building
💕
Good for them.. and DiaperDon

PaigeCuccaro Goverment got millions in federal funds that they can use to fix it, even rebuild Instead they are trying to “fix” roads and buildings that eventually stay damaged, but the money disappears
If SpaceX can launch and land 7 rockets in a short time this can be accomplished. Well now that I mention it give it to Mr. MUSK AND he can develop a team.
I think the Biden administration would be willing to do it
We built this over 60 years ago. Now they claim its too dangerous to fix. We have so much technology in our hands that the claim too dangerous is not acceptable. This can be reconstructed with safety in mind 1st and foremost. Then as its rebuilt it can be updated...
Real news!!! Otherwise known as , a topic that is newsworthy,
They should be sending a check instead of crying online.
😎📡🛸
Did they use it for a Bond movie?😂
jotaroKujoSP isn't that a map in battlefield 4?
Golden Eye?
Jane Fonda called the COVID-19 pandemic 'God's gift to the Left.' that tells the opportunism of the Democratic Party. Do they care about the 200K+ Americans, or do they consider these unfortunate victims to be props to use in the anti-Trump drama they subject us to day after day?
It's collapsing, take care of it or replace it with the jungle
Now we know where realDonaldTrump was actually 'dunking' his paper towels for 2 points.. WhiteHouse JoeBiden KamalaHarris
I would push for an entire rebuild. The old design obviously had flaws and it was in need of revitalization. Getting funds would be difficult but I would love to see the scientific community come together and push for a modernized project in the same location.
Oh ok... the nerds have demanded it... thy will be done.
Shame shame
thanks
