TMT - Contested Case Hearing Status - Hilo

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

First Rooster crow of the morning to you Mr gypsy,

What if, upon completion of the TMT, a large asteroid is discovered hurtling toward earth. Due to the thirty meter mirror and light gathering power of the TMT the asteroid is spotted months before any other telescope in the northern hemisphere has the capability of finding it. This gives Elon Musk and NASA the critical time necessary to launch a deep space mission and divert the path of the giant rock.

Then, questions like Why no Food trucks operated by Hawaiians or locals? become quite inconsequential. In fact, every other question becomes meaningless because if life on earth, if even the earth itself is destroyed, does it matter where is my Man made snow and ski lift?

That's not a rhetorical question. I will save some time and answer it for you. The answer is no.

Then ask yourself another question. Has an asteroid ever hit the earth and impacted life here in the past? Did it matter? Yes. Are the questions you've asked gypsy, just as likely to occur or impact us in the same way? No, no they would not.
