Shocking lack of foresight regarding Jodrell Bank
Sometimes, I cannot believe what I am reading in the news. After the shocking news a few years ago that Jodrell Bank might be closed, the threat was somehow averted and considerable renovation was carried out.
Now yet again, the future of the telescope is in doubt. I don't need to repeat why the telescope should be saved, but the most important for me is simply the 'inspirational' factor.
If it were to disappear from the Cheshire horizon, that, to me, would be a terrible blow and would send out hidden and destructive shock waves throughout the region.
There is something fundamentally wrong with the way we are running things.
