Somewhat OT: UCF gets more good press as the university takes over the Arecibo radio telescope

[thespiritof1976]

More good news from UCF (and more good news FOR as well).

UCF to take over control of the Arecibo Radio Telescope in Puerto Rico, thus saving it from closing down.

DATELINE, January 1st, 2019: The Zeta Reticulan race (otherwise known as "The Greys" disclose their presence to the world on the one year anniversary of UCF's national title in football. The Greys choose this date, because, they finally felt welcome on Earth after the Knights saved the Arecibo telescope.

In addition, the Greys, as well as the rest of the Galactic Federation, award the universal football title to the Knights before incinerating the campuses of USF, UF, and Alabama.

The Annexation of Puerto Rico?

 

[Ace of Knights]

Is that the same telescope that was used in Goldeneye?

The Annexation of Puerto Rico?

The entire island will be the new Caribbean campus

 

[muckdawg24]

Would learning "abroad" be applicable here?

The Annexation of Puerto Rico?

Believe UCF would try to annex Kissimmee first for a test run and then if that goes well, go after the Island too.

Is that the same telescope that was used in Goldeneye?

I believe so, yes. Contact as well.

I thought we already had the largest listening dish in Spectrum Stadium.

I was on vacation last Spring in Puerto Rico. So we drove over to the Observatory to take a tour. Walking up roadway the was a UCF contingent walking down. We all stop in out tracks... seeing I had a UCF hat on and they had UCF shirts. It was then they mentioned UCF was involved, at that time, at the possibility of taking over and running the facility. A decision was supposed to have been made in the fall, but the hurricane delayed that decision evidently. AWESOME place !!!
