&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Jamesburg Earth Station is a massive satellite receiver in a remote valley in California. It played a central role in satellite communications for three decades, but had been forgotten until the current owner put it up for sale, promoting it as a great place to spend the apocalypse. It stands feet from a trailer park and down the road from a Buddhist retreat. This is the story of one of the old, weird ties between Earth and space.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    <description>&lt;p&gt;BOSTON — Hundreds of officers who lined the streets of Boston had little to do as fans quietly mourned their team&#039;s Super Bowl loss Sunday night, but 14 people were arrested across the state at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst when police in riot gear dispersed a rambunctious crowd.&quot;We&#039;re really sad right now,&quot; said Molly Mackenzie of Boston, who was watching at a bar near Fenway Park with two friends as the Patriots lost the NFL championship to the Giants for the second time in five years. &quot;It was a good game, really close.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
