Highest CO2 reading of over 400ppm ever taken during man kinds existence was recently taken by Maunaloa's observatory. Not sure what those kind of readings mean, or if it is good for our upper atmosphere? NASA says "america leading space science for the next fifty years will prove to be just as important as the last fifty years america has led." Anyone know if or how NASA would be involved with maunakeas observatories, Keck or future TmT? NASA was once sued I thought by OHA for something involving Maunakea a decade ago? Hard to blame OHA, if they are up against NASA funding. Maybe NASA just does not want to recognize the Hawaiian native people, history, or culture? Also some Environmental concerns or impacts atop Maunakea could be being ignored for the greater unknowns of space science?
P.S. Maunaloa observatory keeps taking readings of CO2 that high, they will probably have their funding cut by NASA soon, jmo. Anyone know if the other large world telescopes being built in Chile offer any viewing time to its local population or for local educational purposes? If so, is it comparable to what's being offered around these parts from the use of our resource atop maunakea?
TomK keeps mentioning or throwing these 3 million dollar sweet deals around, I can only assume he is referencing to the viewing time being shared or alloted?. Does our local population receive as sweet a deal with its viewing time as say the Chilean local population? In my Opinion, the Keck observatory is as much at fault with how things have transpired atop Maunakea over the past decade, I also would like to give a big thank you or mahalo to the current observatories and promissed TMT projects. For bringing so many good island people together again(much needed), also for the many reminders of life's important things worth saving, protecting, or living for.
