PUEO President Shares Vision for Hawaii Youth

[TomK]

"Remember, when UH starts talking economic impact, it is to UH-Manoa, not UHH. UHH is almost like an ugly stepchild for UH-Manoa. The observatories on Mauna Kea have become data acquisition stations. That is why there is dedicated fiber up the side of the slope and that is why there is a major Internet trunk out of Waikaloa. That fiber pumps the data straight to UHH-Manoa where their astronomy department is merged with a supercomputer laboratory."

I think someone ought to inform the MK observatories about this; it'll come as a complete surprise to them.
