Steve what you are thinking about is related to the deep space network. The
antenna used to connect with Voyager located in Australia had been offline
for most of 2020 due to upgrade. Arecibo is not used to communicate with
any space craft.

There was some system that just got back in communication from a repair to
this, dont recall what it was. I dont understand why these things dont get
rebuilt with current technology when they suffer catastrophic failures.
Maybe starlink will buy it so they can talk to the space car

I've been following that story. A big shame. Maybe they will
rebuild it? I have not seen much information on how important it
has been.

island to see it now.
