> During the Second World War, one British company actually buried the 1.5-tonne mirror for a new South African telescope in a field to avoid possible bomb damage. While delivery of the mirror was delayed until 1948, the telescope was a success, and is still at work today.

That’s interesting. That wasn’t the South African Large Telescope. Construction of the SALT only began in 2000.

“The 1.9-m (74-inch) Radcliffe Telescope was commissioned for the Radcliffe Observatory in Pretoria. Between 1951 and 2004 it was the largest telescope in South Africa.”

I’m surprised that I’ve never heard of it.

Awesome, you achieve nothing by fighting, if your time has come accept it and think of the good things that have happened to you. If your time has not come you will wake in the morning and wonder what all the fuss was about.
