The issue here is Mauna Kea and the stewardship as it continues to be developed on "Conservation Land"
I ask, again, that this litmus test be applied to all development, or not applied at all.
The police didn't know if flying a drone was illegal.
Current FAA "guidance" is: drones are legal when below 400' AGL, outside of restricted airspace, visible to the operator at all times, and "non-commercial" (no monetary gain). In any case the operation of a drone is probably outside HPD's jurisdiction.
Is any one's culture more important than others?
Leilanidude for the win: where astronomy seeks to understand a larger universe, how is it that different than any other spiritual quest? Mainstream religions build huge monuments in which to commune with their holy spirits, often with special fancy windows which admit the light of the heavens. Does a telescope not also fit this description?
