    Currently, the title of world’s largest radio telescope belongs to the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, but by 2016 that is slated to change. China has begun construction of a radio telescope with 3x the capabilities of the Arecibo Observatory in a remote part of the Guizhou province in southern China. Expected to take four years to build, the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) will be the most advanced telescope of its kind.

    Goldeneye was definitely one of the best Bond movies of all time. Every time I see a radio telescope I think of that movie.

    I wonder how many shortcuts they'll take constructing the thing

    Depends if they don't bump into Xenia in the forest.

    It's probably half cardboard right now.
