Aloha, knieft, TMT is unfortunately the platform for the sovereignty movement, and more. Yes, misplaced "blame", perhaps, but moreso, being "held hostage" in the Kingdom/Nation effort. Always said, this is not just about TMT.
Well, at least we are moving forward with "New Horizons", that arrives at Pluto tomorrow: (Apologies, slightly O/T, but interesting)

This is it. After a journey of more than nine years and 3 billion miles (4.8 billion kilometers), NASA's New Horizons spacecraft will finally arrive at Pluto tomorrow.
If you aren’t excited, you should be. For many people, this will be the only time that a world as significant as Pluto will slowly come into view and then be captured in images by a spacecraft. Only future generations that possibly explore other dwarf planets in the outer Solar System or perhaps planets beyond will experience anything quite like it.
JMO.
