Well, trying to kill the waiting time up to the Phoenix lander, I wanted to ask which is Your favorite movie with an UMSF related theme?
Mine is CONTACT, for several reasons...
Attached is a photo of the exhibit at the Very Large Array visitor's center.
Does anybody know if a simular exhibit exists at the Arecibo National astronomy & Ionosphere Center in Puerto Rico?
During 5 days, scenes were shot at the Very Large Array site near Socorro in New Mexico, but I gues they filmed longer at the Arecibo location of the 305 m radio dish on the island of Puerto Rico... smile.gif

Dish was good, Contact superb.

As an unmanned sort of guy, I actually have a certain fondness for the
(in some ways quite flawed) Silent Running, in that one felt real empathy
for its robots, much as one does now for our real various Mars landers
and rovers.
