Recovery Plan

Although the domes and scopes are a total loss, the computers and records were in fact saved, so there is something to rebuild from.

One paradox, though. The site is too near a large city for good observing. The rational decision would be to rebuild way outside town, but the observatory also serves as a public education facility, which does need to be near town.

They may choose to relocate some facilities when they rebuild, and not replace everything on a one-for-one basis. It'll be interesting to see...
