TMT might be too big for Hawaii. The reality is the observatories on top of Mauna Kea started with a promise of jobs and education, with employment of Hawaiians, fast forward almost 50 years and many of the astronomers have nothing but disparaging and condescending statements to make than "none of them are close to being qualified". The Astronomy program at UHH is only a Bachelors. I don't think there is a single Hawaiian doctorate astronomer at any of the observatories. They are a good source of income to the island/county because the astronomers funded by their governments are foreign tourists and they spend well while they are here. TMT would probably mean an increase in tourism but that is a double edged sword.
At this point, it really is up to TMT Corp. to sell their product. You state government fixated losers need to get that straight in your twisted heads.
"Aloha also means goodbye. Aloha!"
