Thought this article was very good, shares some good insight to the billion dollar extra large telescope race our big island finds itself currently in. This race these three teams are participating in may lead to many wonderful new discoveries, very exciting times for some. Pretty Sure these teams have taken into account the many financial aspects involved in building these telescopes. Maunakea's resources and conveniences were certainly contributing factors to why it was chosen as a possible site in this race, expectedly so. Sure hope this telescope race is what the people of the big island wanted or needed as well, or were they given the same considerations by these teams?.

P.S. No one wants to lose billion dollar races, even the nuclear or moon walking races had its pro's and con's, winners and losers.
