A few days ago, the National Science Foundation said it would tear down the Observatory as repairs would be too dangerous. However, that doesn’t rule out building a new structure in its place, and that is what Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vázquez pretends to do.

The Governor has signed an executive order approving $8 million to help rebuild the radio telescope, considered a matter of “public policy” to reestablish the Observatory as a “world-class educational center.”
