What is its success rate?For decades, it was the main telescope used in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

Thanks Karearea. This telescope is an important and still useful instrument and I hope they find the funds to fix it.

… So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth;
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!
