Liveque: "I think it would be awesome to have Mauna Kea be a park. Here's my question to Harry -- How?"
How would that work? Let's see, TMT minimal impact with maybe a dozen employees at a time with minimal impact, or a park with bus loads of Tourii rambling around crushing weiki bug, going out of bounds, leaving litter, and the restrooms they would have to provide for the masses that visit a park with priceless views. Been to Haleakala lately?
My feelings is if the TMT is cancelled, slowly return the mountain to what it once was as best possible, and leave it alone, that is Kapu! for all unless you have a special permit for a special reason to go there.
But that is me.
