The big dish at Arecibo, practically a supporting cast member in movies like Contact and GoldenEye, as well as the first episode of The X-Files' second season, "Little Green Men" has made it through hurricanes and earthquakes in the past, but it appears that 2020 was just too much for the mighty radio telescope.
After a second cable snapped this year, it's been decided that repairing the big dish is just unsafe and impractical and so future movie appearances will need to be in historical thrillers via CGI.
