South Pole Telescope

Its been recently revealed America is now spending fortunes in
some sort of a special space watching program in the most hostile,
uninhabitable, and inaccessible place on earth – way down at the
south pole. A secretive complex is now being put into operation
which is known as The South Pole Telescope (SPT) in Antarctica.
When the installation is finished, it will be the size of a mini-mall
and of course being where it is located, it will require massive
amounts of funding to maintain and operate. But, regardless of
the expense to operate and the staffing required – not one Senator
or Congressman has questioned the need for this complex despite
the cost.

Just to transport the equipment required a fleet of C-130 Hercules
aircraft to airlift the pre-assembled modules and a large staff to this
most desolate part of the earth. Why? What are they looking for?
Something in deep space was sighted back in 1983 and that finding
spurred the USA to build the SPT (without regard to cost).

Government agencies have never worked so closely together for one
single solitary cause as they seem to be in this venture. No news cast
have been released to inform the public of what is taking place there
and why. What could astronomers be looking for there that they can’t
see from a more accessible facility already in operation? Because doom
will be coming from the south?
