Re: Well, they HAVE TO!!!
I'm trying to write a story, folks.
First, the terrorists rip through the World Trade Center and Pentagon, two important sites in my story. Well, over my little vacation I had a chance to rework the story and it looks good again. All I had to do was push it out another 40 years.
Now there's talk of scrapping Arecibo?!
This must be why so many SF writers reach so far into the future (and I'm working a couple other stories for 2300 AD).
This is crap! I need that antenna for another 45 years!!
Oh, and I like the research it does, too,
