Let's see now, there are 12 or 13 of the largest observatories in the world already on this sacred mountain Maunakea. Now the world wants a thirty meter telescope on top of the most observatory populated mountain in the world. How can all these tons of manmade material, waste, and pollution be good for, or help protect Maunakea? This mountain is 40% above our earths atmosphere, also she stands drier and darker than most other mountains in the world. These are a few of the reasons MaunaKea leads the astronomy world today.
JMO here. Really this exploitation and decimation of Hawaii's tallest and most sacred mountain has been to much to fast. Yes it is nice to have Hawaii on the map, most Hawaiians would probably just like the security of a home and land instead of another telescope that would be 1 of 13. Before Hawaii becomes the center of the universe when it gets its thirty meter telescope, it would be with respect to make sure every full blooded Hawaiian had land or a home here within the islands. Land is not getting cheaper in Hawaii, and homeless is on the rise, even here in Hawaii county.
