    "This is not good, but we remain committed to getting the facility
    back online," Cordova said. "It's just too important of a tool for the advancement of science."

    Second Cable Fails at Arecibo Observatory - Massive Radio Telescope
    Used in the Search for Alien Life



    US to shut down famed huge Arecibo space telescope in Puerto Rico
    jungle

    The observatory has played a key part in space exploration - and a few
    movies - but two accidents have rendered the 305m-wide instrument
    unsafe
    ...
    ...
    An engineering firm hired by the University of Central Florida, which
    manages the observatory for NSF under a five-year $20m agreement,
    concluded in a report to the university last week "that if an
    additional main cable fails, a catastrophic collapse of the entire
    structure will soon follow".

    Citing safety concerns, the firm ruled out efforts to repair the
    observatory and recommended a controlled demolition.
