TMT Work to Resume Says Ige!

[TomK]

"How about Mount Saraswati? The current location of the Indian Astronomical Observatory."

No specific TMT site testing, poor seeing, little to no local infrastructure and no international agreements to build the TMT there. It would be much faster to go through the HI state re-approval process than build there. I believe the only options for the TMT are to go through the process here, which I suspect is the likely option, or revert to one of the other sites they have already tested, but if that happens they lose their competitiveness with the ELT.
