The big difference/irony is that Galileo was put down by the monied establishment, and TMT is being stopped by the opposite end--albeit with the non-action by the establishment/power letting it happen by default.

Another difference is that Galileo was in trouble for his ideas, not his telescopes. TMT is in trouble for being the 14th telescope.

Tangentially, I watched most of the Jan. 5 Part 2 testimony of Dr. Coleman. Such a sad state of affairs. Coleman was so gracious and kept his sense of humor...in the face of nearly pure idiocy at times. I suspect I wouldn't have had his patience and would have at least imagined the scene below. I leave it to PunaWebbers to figure our who the pompous celibates are in this analogy...
