Big upgrade for MeerKAT telescope boosts search for intelligent alien life

South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope in the Karoo has started using a powerful new instrument that significantly enhances its ability to search for signs of extraterrestrial life.

The upgrade was announced in a conference on Thursday organised by the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (Sarao).

We have been giving away our location for over a 100 years. By cosmic standards, earth is about as quiet as a Metallica concert.

They're going to take one look at earth and find SJWs, people who think they're another sex/cat/piece of wood/everything else, South Africa and its politicians, and the Russians threatening nuclear war and they'll scram off to another planet in another galaxy.
