  1. 14:23 Yes, but the Chinese now have something cooler. That will last after this is gone.

  2. 15:30 Why would retrofitting a radar be out of the question? OK, looks like Arecibo had it included as part of the initial construction. But they were later able to upgrade the gantry structure; perhaps that would be doable for Tianyan as well?

  3. 9:42 Collecting area is perhaps not so vital -- all that does is diminish the signal/noise ratio. What is probably more important is angular resolution, and you do that by widening the effective aperture. Which you can do by setting up multiple radio telescopes over a sufficient distance, listening to the same signal in sync. Hence the well-known radio telescope array projects.
