Wonder what they do with that stuff. Seems like it would make a good dwelling in the Puna district! Oh wait... the permitting...

That dome portion would make a swell formwork for a monolithic dome. I'm sure it's going directly to scrap of course.

Plop the dome down at the intersection of Saddle Road and Mauna Kea Access.
Put on a sign that says "Hawaiian King-dome, a gift from the heavens."
