Those plates aren't even adjusted properly lol. They all have messed up angles.

Also what good is a telescope if you can't rotate it ? Do you just wish the world to rotate wherever you want it to look at ?

Honest question, do any of you think mandarin will ever be worth learning for someone who expects to die sometime before this century ends?

I know Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, German, English, and Japanese already. Will I be set at least for the coming 60 or so years?

I'm sorry but how does this work? How can they see through a dish? Does the light get absorbed, and the little hole in the center refracts it and let's them see millions of lightyears into space?

that's the reflector, not the antenna
