Why Pahoated wants to continue to disparage Puna folk working for the observatories is beyond me.
"[...]which is doubtful more than 2 or 3 people in Puna have some direct connection. Obviously, you felt a need to somehow connect the two and vent."
You'll be able to name those people of course, won't you, Pahoated?
As for direct connections, many might not know that most of the observatories on Mauna Kea are or have been directly involved in supporting NASA planetary missions. Half of the IRTF's observing time is spent supporting NASA Solar System missions and UKIRT, Keck, Gemini and the JCMT have been or are currently involved in supporting those missions. Without their observations the NASA missions would have been impossible, and without the work that locals have done to support the observatories, those observations would not have been carried out, nor would the ongoing ones be possible.
Now, Pahoated, without making stuff up again, who are those two or three people in Puna you were talking about?
