Inside FAST, Soon to be the World's Biggest and Baddest Radio Telescope

It does seem like something out of James Bond and Goldeneye as others have stated. Guess its good that someone is still interested in listening to the stars. Seti is on hold and Puerto Rico’s Arecibo Observatory is about to close, I guess China can foot the bill now. I wonder what they are up to?

I also wonder what they're up to. But all in all, I guess we could say it's "good" news.

this can bring good and bad...mass broadcasts of things will cause histaria or Calming across a larger scale faster.

I don't get the " Inside FAST" part of the OP headline. The telescope is interesting but does the OP want us to duck and cover? Get to this thread fast? If it's the first, take some meds, if it's the second of my guesses, star and flag whore tagging a topic title is a sure way to get fewer stars and flags.

Edit to add, LOL there is now a telescope ad at the top of the page.

Ahhh, excellent pun with words then.
I take it all back, your title is brilliant.
