Sure hope the TMT project does not include the same amount of TNT dynamite blasting that the Chilean site needed for the worlds 1st or 2nd largest telescope to perch?
The tons of rock blown up or clouds of dust caused from the TNT blasts were made for live t.v. around the world. The mountaintop in Chile has now been reshaped 30 feet lower in elevation to fit one of mans made future wonders of the world. In my opinion, Maunakea and its important history is worth protection from this type of manmade destruction. If they use hundreds of pounds of tnt dynamite to blow up some of Maunakea's history or light blocking cinder cones for the site of the Tmt, will we be able to watch the clouds of red dust on oceanic t.v or would it even be mentioned?.
1. You apparently have no idea where the TMT is actually being placed.
2. You have no idea what the site prep actually is going to be.
3. You have not bothered to read the EIS or you don't understand it.
