(Translation mine) "Friends, it is with a heavy heart that I must report the Arecibo Observatory's platform has just collapsed."

I mentioned I don't have a source, so you're right to assume it false. It's just something I heard and I've been searching for any credible backup for it, but I don't have faith that it's actually taken place since nothing has come up so far beyond the many, many reports covering the event of the collapse itself.

Given the age of the telescope, it's not outside the realm of possibility that some of the equipment contains PCBs.

Interesting. I heard one of the substances was mentioned to be mercury, and the area was closed as a precaution and not because any environmental contamination was known of, but again, no source, don't trust.

I don't agree. NASA does science, private companies build boosters (which NASA pays to use). It's certainly better than the other way around.
Anyway, the amount of money private companies put into space back when NASA flew the shuttle, was pretty huge. Beyond satellites, private companies don't look like commercializing space any time soon. Asteroid mining and stuff ... not really profitable.

NASA used to be the one going into space, though.
