good news!

"Canada joins California Institute of Technology, the University of California, and the science institutions of China, India, and Japan as partners in the effort to build one of the largest and most powerful optical telescopes in the world, expected to become operational in 2024."
i really appreciate the international aspect of this project. even better considering some of the partners in this project tend to have friction or rivalry elsewhere in their relations. i find international cooperation in the pursuit of knowledge beyond the scope of our planet to be very agreeable. and i am rather thrilled that we can have the honor of hosting this cutting edge project of exploration here on our very own Hawai'i Island.

“Canada is proud to be an official partner in this revolutionary facility that has the potential to transform our understanding of the universe,” federal Industry Minister James Moore said in a statement.
Most of the money will be spent in Canada, creating high-tech jobs in the telescope’s construction and assembly, according to the prime minister’s office. The investment will also ensure a viewing share for Canadian researchers once the telescope is up and working."
certainly a fair return on investment. and good to see people benefiting from this project wherever they may be.
