Good morning hotpe, great reply.
One students education at a Princeton, Yale, Caltech, or Vanderbilt university is about 60,000 a year currently(thats $220,000 for 4 years). Maybe the 1,000,000 hidden under those rocks from the TMT and the $1 a year from the 13 other telescopes like keck atop Maunakea would help 2-5 kids a year at this present time. Also One million a year in 2072 may seem like a dollar and yet one education at those sacred universities may cost more than a million by then too.
One of my points or questions is that Hawaii has been the astronomy capital of the world for some time now, how has this good fortune made a differance within the host community up to this point? Some of These prestigious universities like Yale or Caltech will be paying millions for future viewing time atop maunakea, they will be using our islands other resources to be able to use this viewing time or gain their Nobel prizes as well. So why couldn't some of those millions go back into our islands most important resource(young great minds)?
P.S. China, India, and others have militaries too. They may have wanted to use their 25% of the TMT's telescope time for military purposes? Even our own military in the near future may have gained important information from the tmts possible technology atop maunakea. With information like that at hand, one country could blow up another countries space technology with better precision that could have caused serious economic problems or hardship in the future, jmo. Also it may be possible that the extra tourists(causing dust for example) that would visit the summit of maunakea due to this TMT project would have many impacts on the summits protected sacred environment. Why weren't these types of important concerns or others addressed in the final EIS report? Why skip or ignore those important parts of a legal process like contested case hearings and those who would be involved?
