TIL that the telescope that capted the Wow! Signal (only likely candidate to be of ET origin) was razed to make room for a golf course - eviltoast

    conspiracy is always an easy answer. But overall I agree, it was despicable to raze it for any motif

      I don’t know.

      A golf course motif is all about the calm and classic vibe of a golf setting. Think rolling green landscapes, manicured lawns, flags marking holes, and peaceful water hazards. It’s a picture of leisure and tradition, often with a touch of luxury.

      On the other hand, a motif for the search for extraterrestrial life dives into the realm of science and cosmic mystery. It’s more about high-tech equipment, like telescopes or satellite dishes scanning the skies. You’d imagine starry backgrounds, images of distant galaxies, and advanced tech setups, maybe with a touch of sci-fi elements. This motif captures the human quest for knowledge and the unknown, reaching out into the depths of space.

      So, it’s tranquil, earthy elegance versus high-tech, cosmic exploration. Tough call.

      😉

        People are downvoting this thinking you are actually comparing the use of the land, but I do appreciate your comparison of motifs, and your thorough effort to make a joke on a typo

        For any telescope, it is poetic. For the only one who catch the only signal possibly coming from outerspace is another ball park
