The TMT project is in a race with several other large telescopes to take the first pictures of space "again". Being first to "SEE" and collect "DATA" matters more to the astronomers than allowing the Native Hawaiians the needed time to gain their recognition, or have the chance to regain control of their own land again. Being first matters more to these astronomers than many of Our island people's traditions, Cultures, concerns, Resources, and Spirit. Jmo

The TMT's project's priorities and intentions have been clear from the beginning, They have proven to be very willing and capable of doing Anything to achieve first light in this Centuries largest telescope race.
It really makes me wonder why The building of the large TMT project and not the decommissioning of the other outdated telescopes atop Mauna Kea remains the top priority for the state or University.
Would The summit of Mauna Kea remain the astronomy capital of the world with or without this TMT observatory?
Would the Keck telescope atop Mauna Kea remain one of the largest telescopes in the world whether the TMT is built next to it or not?
