Before we build a telescope as large as the TMT on Mauna Kea maybe a few studies should be done to see what the additional tourism impacts could do to the mountains fragile environment. The TMT's EIS report fails to mention or weigh any possible additional tourism impacts that may happen to the summit, environment or Hawaiian practitioners. jmo's
