Build A Radio Telescope On The Moon By 2040!

We can say that the future of radio astronomy can be defined as assured even in the absence of Arecibo. The feeling is that, rightly, mourning beyond measure the disappearance of Arecibo, radio astronomers want to force the hand to obtain in exchange something extraordinarily innovative: a radio telescope on the Moon!

After Arecibo collapsed, radio astronomers all over the world were debating what to do to fill the great void left by that loss. Should the instrument be rebuilt? If so, with what money?
To remake it "as it was and where it was" requires quite a bit, at least $400 million. And so, more than a few experts began to blow on the fire of "better to focus on extreme renovation".
And, interestingly, NASA did not back down ... Also because it was already some time that the American space agency had in the drawer a project already nice and ready, the Lunar Crater Radio Telescope, already funded in April 2020 to verify the feasibility under a selection called Innovative Advanced Concepts.
In short, it was already a while that NASA had put in the crosshairs this possibility, and the disaster of the Arecibo radio telescope has only accelerated this propensity to fund extreme technologies rather than the preservation of the status quo.
An audacious decision-making encouraged in part by the enormous technological advances in materials, robotics, and communications that have given rise to the sort of "space renaissance" we are currently experiencing.
The need for a new radio telescope and the advantages of building on the lunar surface also coincides with the desire of the United States and its international and commercial partners to return to the Moon as early as 2024. Joseph Silk, professor of astronomy at The Johns Hopkins University, noted in an article in the journal Nature that the return of humans to the Moon, this time to stay, presents a rare opportunity to advance the science of radio astronomy.
