Mahalo, EricP, for the link. It is very interesting that several great programs have evolved since the TMT standoff. NOTHING prior, but now, all these wonderful opportunities have arisen.
Sure hope the keiki do reap the benefits, or a portion thereof. Not just the chosen few.
Since the TMT debacle, the "commitment" to all these wonderful opportunities have risen to the surface. Good. When the first telescope was built (ages ago), promises were made and not kept (many telescopes later, promises still not kept).
Reading the documents provided over the course of 40-50 years, it is interesting (at best) to see the evolution of the Astronomy Program here in Hawai'i. Sometimes it is too little to late.
The natives are indeed restless.
JMO.
