Short of Rebuilding from scratch. What can they realistically do?
: (
It’s not how you pronounce that name XD
Noooooo we loved you arecibo RIP
I posted the news some days ago, Arecibo decommissioned 💔 such an icon 😢🥺🥺 I know that is structural falling apart but we should start a petition for, at least, save some parts of the main structure for tourism or archeoscience trip. Save Arecibo. 🥺
Coming Soon! The Arecibo Skate Park. Dude!!!
This is a real shame, maybe soon we could build an even bigger one on the moon.
I remember the excitement of seeing Arecibo on an X-Files episode called ‘Little Green Men’ way back in the early 90’s.
So long and thanks for all the fish..
Sad to see it go
A preventable loss
❤️❤️❤️❤️
We need Arecibo 2.0
Looking at the general state of repair, it doesn’t appear hard to understand what happened!
Something rusted, and broke.
I know what its first transmission is, but I wonder what is its last.
How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad
I thought we’d get to see forever
But forever’s gone away
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
I don’t know where this road
Is going to lead
All I know is where we’ve been
And what we’ve been through
And if we get to see tomorrow
I hope it’s worth all the wait
It’s hard to say goodbye to yesterday
And I’ll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
And I’ll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
Off topic, but you are such a wonderful person Anton. =]
Who needs real science and engineering. Hyperloops and solar roadways, that’s the future worth dumping millions in!
Nooooooo
The Polish name is pronounced like English Volsh-chan
The shutdown officially marks the beginning of Idiocracy as we know it.
I am from Poland, you where quite clouse but not yet there with this Woszczan name. This hard to pronauce part is voiceles..
Polish names are indeed difficult
Where’s Elon? He could fix it.
I was introduced to Arecibo when i was a child. It was shown in Nat-Geo space documentary that i forgot what the title is. Since then I took astronomy as my main interest. Without it I won’t be who i am.
Thank you Arecibo and Anton for making this video
What did you do to Arecibo you wonderful person?
First Pluto and now this
Woah…Woa…Wozzz…ahhh! LMAO
Thank you Anton. We love you
Infrastructure is irevelent in our modern construct of “reality”.
I visited Arecivo beautiful 😍. Saludos
i just hope no predator type civilization receives these messages
NSF was kinda busy funding LIGO for a while.
When skyrim fans name planets
Draugr
Hello wonderful Anton. Please follow up with an episode on FAST.
Press ‘F’ to pay respect to Arecibo Telescope, no joke, be serious this time
Thank you for your service.
Wait… Arecibo is in Battlefield 4! I never realized!
One does not simply tear down Boromir’s resting place.
Hello Wonderful Anton :o)
They need to fund to fix this why waste such a good location fix the thing… Maybe later they will.
Sad times.
Thanks for a great video.
Farewell to a wonderful facility.
Arecibo, Arecibo!
Mi mejor amigo cósmico está muerto!
the aliens wont be found in space, they live on earth and always have.
Damn
It does need to go through
Perfect…really a good news. 😶
Humanity had a good tool and has been let to rot.
Anton buT got tight when talking about aliens 👽 I can tell he didn’t want to say more but really less because he’s nah believer
Sorry bru we aren’t the smartest beings in the universe.
4:15 How large are the side lobes? Can that signal be heard by someone closer?
I like the idea of someone standing at a podium, announcing to a crowd of reporters that “we’ve sent a binary encoded message to another star system, hopefully aliens are on the receiving end, hopefully peaceful aliens, possibly not a good idea now that I think about it.”
Thanks wonderful Anton, a great tribute to Arecibo.
It will be sad for it to go. Thank you for sharing Anton.
Let’s start gofundme for the replacement of this telescope.
Maybe no more funding because new technologies will be declassified.
TWEET THIS at Elon Tusk or Bezos they will buy it off lol
I’m still trying to find out what the wonderful music is at the end of your videos… Thanks!
I saw Anton in the comments for a Zefrank video and this made me smile.
Hey, I’ll move down there to repair it. Dying by telescope seems like a pretty cool way to go
Sigh 2020 … it just keeps giving.
well done, excellent eulogy – farewell Aricebo
GoldenEye!!!
Aleksander Wolszczan’s name is pronounced more like “Volshchan”
30 seconds in and i hope theyre going to give us a replacement
8:09. that’s a Magellan map (SAR in Venus orbit).
Glad you’re doing well Anton. Your channel is amazing🙏
It’s almost as if we lost a great member of the human species.
Pop culture fact: arecibo featured heavily in James bond golden eye. Amongst others.
Anton is amazing, thank you sharing, this was fantastic.
Remake it, new tech, new materials, new construction techniques from 50 years ago.
And what would you do with 8 million dollars in Puerto Rico
What keeps a fast spinning pulsar from flying apart?
Went there with my daughter. It was a very visitor friendly and a grand sight up close. What a heartbreak.
“GOLDEN EYE”
“only had military-application to begin with…”
!WONDERFUL! …!?!…
Thank you as always for the post of the subject Anton.
-b,
Every good thing comes to an end. Arecibo served us well. RIP
Hi. I live in Puerto Rico amd the news said that is out of service while doing reaparings so they say that “will continue at service after” we are not sure of it. pardon my writing i am better in spanish.
Anytime I hear “Arecibo,” I think of the episode of _Connections_ that featured it [which was the 1st time I learned of it.]
well poo… i’d heard about that first cable snapping, but not the 2nd…
Thank you and Dave Jones for covering this. This is bad news but I believe good things can still come from this.
I used to take my kids there. It’s was hit very hard by the hurricane Maria too. RIP😪
Thank you! Wonderful Anton ✨
I have been there it was amazing. :-(.
Thanks for the memories even though they *were so great!
I say rebuild it!!! Get funding from some one other than the Gov’t… Other big telescopes are being built… why doesn’t a billionaire step up and form an endowment fund for it?
006 is finally defeated
You will only see it in the movie “CONTACT”
😕😢😫😰 such a loss. Not only a magnificent instrument but a land mark.
Hello wonderful people
R.I.P Arecibo
I’ve seen it countless times in Discovery Science astronomy documentaries, as a kid.
And now it’s a thing of the past.
I got to go there once as a kid. I lived at PR back then. I’ve always wanted to go back, but I guess I can’t anymore. RIP
Im puertorican, I live here in Arroyo, Puerto Rico, and all I can say is Thank you Mr. Petrov. I swear, I will build a new Observatory here in my Island, and it will be the Greatest, and it will be named with a name you like. Thank you again 👍🇵🇷👌.
Fail more budget cuts more money for politicians less for science and regular people.
battlefield 4. destroying the cables was the best shit ever. then sniping from the top with the 50 cal
Someone needs to do something else there in Puerto Rico.
OMG that’s where the majority of my Seti@home data packs come from.
Greetings from Puerto Rico.
I hadn’t heard. Now I’m sad.
We will miss Arecibo a lot!!
I hope we finish building the *1 kilometer SKA radiotelescope* soon.
It should have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
That’s what happens when my wonderful island is ruled by incompetent people. Stealing the $ and not fixing the problem. We all puertoricans agree with that
