Arecibo radio telescope goes dark after mysterious destruction 

:(

November 1963 same month Kennedy was assassinated

@@gabemarcus7926 OMG IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY!!!!!!

Right? I had to laugh at them calling this mysterious lol

@James Stewart Bro the drones were there because they were expecting it to fail because everyone who was paying attention knew that the cable was rusty.

More proof that the media does nothing but mislead and lie

I read the facility was decommissioned back in November due to structural integrity.

@@highspeedenthusiast6628 American media*

bro that’s true, damn.

Why? Was it damaged then, or in bad shape that they could predict it??

Goldeneye predicted it in 1995.

Bro, the Rogue transmission is actually targeting FAST in Guizhou, China. battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Rogue_Transmission Now this is the only FAST active in the whole world.

The noobs camping in the back with c4 caused this

😂

China build better one and decommission this older one but of course Western " Fake News " taking opportunity to bash China . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7SRV3rnULO0.html of course they do not mention about that one .

@@MrINDIA-qo2ly Just go to Texas, plenty of aliens there.

:D

That’s really sad. What a loss. Underfunded.

This happened 3 months ago....

hold me Stan

We can, it's just a question of money

wtf does this comment even mean... it wasn't easier to fix because it was built in the 60s... and "we, the people" like you were out there with flex tape giving it a shot. gimme a break.

it should not be a question of repairing really, but more of constant maintenance to keep such an old structure functional and stable...well it's too late now

I guess you didnt know that it was slated for demolition anyway , not repair... Gravity decided the course of action

@@mauri9559 Ok. Nice excuse.

@Robbie AR Sadly it won't, it collapsed this morning and is now totally beyond repair.

@Robbie AR Do you have a link to the source that claims that they will build an ever bigger dish? I'm really interested in this but have not found anything about plans to rebuild it. I know they were planning to do a controlled demolition on Arecibo anyway because it was impossible to fix the cables but I still think it's sad to see it go down like that. The only thing I found on plans for a replacement was the idea of an array of smaller dishes instead of one large dish like Arecibo. They also plan to add radar capabilities to the primary dish in West Virginia's Green Bank Observatory but that was already planned before the loss of Arecibo.

Desde Puerto Rico que bien👍

Same, we dropped acid and smoked blunts while we painted it. Good times

Yep, gone forever now.

can't. environmentalist won't let it happen

It also won't happen because similar radiotelescope is already working: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-hundred-meter_Aperture_Spherical_Telescope

It was advanced back in the 90s now ot was just a sight seeing site tbh but fixing it up would be nice

@@felixleiter9123 What?

@@coquimapping8680 it would have never been built lf we had the environmental laws we have today. it's built in a wetlands deslgnated area with at risk species. return it to nature i say.

To be fair this is more likely to get government funding to fix

apparently, they who ACTUALLY have experience working with the equipment, disagree.

@@claireconover its just an excuse for never doing maintenance on the radio telescope.

@@claireconover no, they don't.

mysterious... isnt it?...hahaha.....( always and only the Blues!)

Routine maintenance and inspections should have prevented this. Someone wasn't doing their job

Metal Fatigue. After 57 years, a weakness developed and a cable failed. The rest followed suit.

Maybe because Puerto Rico does have some bigger problems going on that it makes the observatory look like it's a minor important thing....but I understand, that Radio Telescope was very historical.

Yes, because how has that telescope ever benefitted the people of that country?

@Fred Ragers TM I stand corrected. Since you pointed out this fact, perhaps YOU can answer the question. How has the presence of that telescope ever benefitted the people of Puerto Rico?

@Fred Ragers TM Clearly, YOU cannot answer the question. That telescope means nothing to the people there since most do not care about it, which means it has neither benefitted nor harmed them. It is there because the outsiders who wanted it there have always imposed themselves on other people and their land. Now their toy has collapsed. So what?

@@l.m.6090 People here don't even know what it is. When they think of "telescope", they think of a cheap telescope from Walmart. If people here knew it's history and what it did, they would care SO much more.

Heard about it first while watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Hate to see it go. I am grieving. I know that there are other radio telescopes, but this one is special.

Me too, kid. Sadly it fell down.

Inspected the cabling close up and noted there was extensive corrosion on the dish and the cabling.

This is just an agenda of Joe biden...to conceal the alien Life existing..secret agenda...this is a preplanned destruction

@@sojajose9886 Actually, the Chinese sabotaged the telescope, because that want their new FAST dish to be the one that discovers alien life.

Or maybe aliens just found it 🌌

@@iinRez That must have been an oxygen atom oxygen talking to an iron atom. Are you not familiar with rust? Go back to middle school chemistry.

Think they said a tropical storm is what damaged one of the cables in November, making them decide to repair it.......kind of too late though.

Thanks

Yup lmaoo

Levolution!

Rogue Transmission

Nope .We need God for our safety

It is called properly funding the National Science Foundation. Maybe do that ever since the 60's.

They did nothing because they had no money. Whats so surprising about Congress not funding the National Science Foundation?

@@henrygustavekrausse7459 they could of done a loan

@@springmatronic4459 Taking out a loan still means spending money at some point down the road. A loan-financed repair is still an expenditure and the National Science Foundation didn't have enough money for that kind of expenditure.

Exactly they mistreat my home country and it pisses me off

They were built with sheet metal welded and some even torn down, I don't think they were alien.

@@FractalNinja Yah I was bummed about that, the first video I saw made it look pristine, close ups revealed a different story. Totally blue balled.

I can tell you have never been to Puerto Rico.

@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again yes i have . you havent

They said the drone was there filming for like 30 minutes or so, trying to inspect cable damage...well it just happened to be there when it collapsed, but at least the footage will give engineers years of study from the footage and maybe make better design choices :0

It collapsed already months ago, just for your information

Idiots like you said the same thing about 2019, and 2018, and 2017.....

The end?

@@TM-kj2sb no aliens, and then eventually the end!

For England, James?

Seems like China sabotaged it 😂

China's radio telescope is not similar. It does not have any transmitting capability, only listening capability. Aerobico were in fact our worlds biggest radar station. Please learn more details here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dt1ygf5AAuM.html

No. It did not “serve its purpose,” if you are suggesting it had become obsolete and was no longer needed. It was still relevant and important to protecting Earth from incoming asteroids. news.yahoo.com/china-now-holds-worlds-last-023148667.html

@@kanadum Some other realities you might want to consider are, 'if it was still relevant the people who pay the money to maintain and use it would have spent the money to repair it if THEY thought it was still relevant, and they didn't.. That's a fact. Something else to consider is that it was built in 63' and many radio telescopes have been built around the earth since then and most of them are easier to point in a wider range of directions than that one. Again it has a very limited range in it's field of view. It's no relevant anymore because the people who run it say so. And yet another point to consider is that it was built by the military and they stopped using it a long time ago. Which also talks to it's relevancy.

@@fredflintstone8048 No one of the other radio telescopes have any transmitting capability, only listening capability. Aerobico were in fact our worlds biggest radar station. Please learn more details here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dt1ygf5AAuM.html

@@gagarinone yes, I know this already and mentioned it.. but as it turns out, the reality is that this doesn't matter. the military that built it stopped using it, and there's nothing that requires us to need an instrument that does what this does or more of them would have been built over the last 57 years. There are however other transmitters that can and do send signals into outer space not that we have any indication that anyone is listening. Funding has been dropping that supported this device to the point where no money was reinvested for maintenance. The facts speak for themselves.. follow the money. It was costing money, not making money, and at the end of the day, no matter how unique it might have been, was no longer useful.

@@fredflintstone8048 So what's the name of "there are however other transmitters that can and do send signals into outer space not that we have any indication that anyone is listening."?

They got a support team full of c4 to do this

With all cables connected they were at least at 72% weight capacity. the cables were definitely damaged by the numerous earthquakes, and loosing one of the primaries along with the Aux on a single tower sealed its fate. Even more depressing is the fact that they did have replacement cables ordered.
