Antarctic Telescope?

    Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.

    Anybody find it a bit ironic that I'm getting this message on an article about a telescope?

    It would be cool if it didn't suck.

    Totally... a good point. You are reminding me of that song "Southern Cross." Man, that band has never even seen the Southern Cross, neither has most of their "fans," and neither have I. I say fans in quotes because they are only fans in that they like the song and think it is some sort of tribute to a racially provoked sentiment. btw, if you ever find yourself in court in the South, it really is best to speak with a southern accent, even if it is fake as hell (and I happen to believe it is ALL fake).
