"There are very few things for which humanity will put aside our differences, our politics, the lines we draw on our maps, in order to work together, collaboratively, productively and selflessly. Giant telescopes, designed with the sole intent of providing us with the ability to observe, study and understand more about the unquantifiable vastness that is our known universe, represent an example of these rare efforts."
