Arecibo Observatory dish suffers serious damage (failed suspension cable)

So I learned that while Arecebo is obsolete as a radio telescope it is still our best space radar. That sounds worthwhile to rebuild.

I don't think detcord has the necessary tensile strength to support the necessary equipment.
But I'm willing to give it a shot.

They could try rebuilding with a single concrete tower in the middle holding up the receiver arrays. Might be better than steel wire in that environment. It gives up a little in the FoV but is probably the cheapest and thus most likely to happen if anything does.
