Hurricane Maria did major damage to the Puerto Rican telescope in 2017 that lead to the collapse of this world class iconic radio telescope 3 years later after failing to get funded and maintained. It was the largest for the USA by a long shot at 305 meters. China’s FAST became the largest at 500 meters in 2016. This is Trump’s (2017-2020) legacy for Puerto Rico.
The Arecibo dish was used for the first humans intentionally sent a radio signal to possible intelligent civilizations in other solar systems. It was just a stunt, but a cool stunt. I like cool stunts that get people interested in science.
