"There is this recent protester statement being made, why not build it in Chile like the European telescope. The first reason is Chile is not America and American astronomy wants the big discoveries to come from its observatories, which they have almost daily now."
Jeez, it would be so much better if you were a protester. Your arguments for science are so damaging. I'm not even going to address the rest of your post because it started off so badly.
The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), a US telescope with international partners (like the TMT), is being built in Chile.
