After I read all of the bad news on the web each morning I go to www.sciencedaily.com . There you can read about some of the incredible scientific discoveries that are happening these days. Astronomy news is always my favorite and it really puts our trivial problems in perspective. Research money seems to be the only money that is well spent these days. I remember a conversation with a friend where he demanded to know how the space program ever did a bit of good. I reminded him that we wouldn't have photovoltaic panels if it weren't for the space program. He walked away in a huff.
Hawaiians were scientists. They relied on astronomy to get here. I consider Mauna Kea to be sacred too. We should cherish all we have and continue to look outward for better understanding. TMT will be money well spent.
