Prior to v1.3.5 when the Observatory was funded, the telescope would elevate and it would spin around like a drunk astronomer was manning it. Now, it just sets there, does nothing, with its little telescope looking all droopy. This may not be a bug, but I can't understand why it'd be purposely changed to be so... boring.
I miss the drunk astronomer... Thinking it's what the bombers do when they aren't out running around with ADD...
