Episode 46 - The Road to Arecibo (2010: The Year We Make Content‪)‬ 2001: A Space Podyssey

The collapse of the Arecibo Observatory in 2020 marked the end of an era for generations of astronomers, climatologists, SETI researchers, and space enthusiasts.
From 1963 until its closure in 2023, Arecibo, Puerto Rico housed the world’s largest radio telescope, and “2010” was originally going to start there!
Thanks to The Odyssey File, we have Arthur C. Clarke and Peter Hyams’ insightful and hilarious conversations about the concepts, logistics, and challenges that ultimately lead from Puerto Rico to New Mexico and the VLA.
Plus: the arguments around transmitting messages to outer space, Carl Sagan, pulsars, and Goldeneye!
