Kalakoa,

Making sure Michelle is working well is important to maintaining UKIRT's scientific productivity. It's vital for studies of solar system objects and orbital debris, which is now a large part of UKIRT's mission these days. As for scientific productivity being a good argument to keep UKIRT operational, I would agree but it's clear right now science is not the reason UKIRT was chosen to be decommissioned. To have politics interfere with good science is always frustrating and quite difficult to fight, but the decision will be fought.

Opihikao,

More than happy to give you and a couple of family members a tour but my schedule over the next few months is pretty crazy, so this might not be possible until well into the new year. I hope that still works for you.

(BBM) Yes, indeed, Sir. Disgusting.

Mahalo for your continued offer. We shall cross paths one day, perhaps not on Mauna Kea, but over a beer or a fine glass of wine, when Pam returns, in celebration.

Aloha to you, Sir.

JMO.
