NASA has awarded a contract to MIT for the design of a huge new radio telescope array meant to study the universe's earliest beginnings. The catch? To see that far back, it must be deployed on the far side of the Moon.
Ok. My only question is will it "start playing different tunes"?
One more reason for the US to go back to the Moon!

Well, that and some of the Heinlein books could come true. Finally.
