It appears that we can fund an education facility to "Promote STEM education, learning, and teaching" but are apparently unable to actually apply any science, technology,
engineering, or math.

Not even going to keep the relatively new 12-m dish in service let alone rebuild the 305-m monster, at least if I read the press release Angel linked to correctly.

Hi All,

It is with deep sorrow that I post this:

NSF has announced it will cease Scientific  operations At the Arecibo Observatory on September 30, 2023.

I’s been a great ride! (45 years for me!)
