      From: usenet@only.tnx              One of the support cables broke in August. It was scheduled to be replaced.       Before that could happen, a second cable broke earlier in November. After an       engineering review, it was decided that potential unstability in the remaining       cables made it too much of a risk for workers and nearby structures to attempt       repair. It was reluctantly decided to decomission the 57-year-old instrument.              https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=301674              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
