The Arecibo Observatory has been troubled with budget problems for years now, but now the future of the observatory is being called into question. The question at hand is whether U.S. Congress will provide funding that is needed badly.

Seti@Home relies on The Arecibo Observatory and without the observatory the UC Berkeley project would cease to exist. I personally have participated in the Seti@Home project for years and I believe the project is a great contribution to science and technology.
