Obie quoted Ruderman:
“I know few details about it at this point. But generally, all previous proposals for a ‘spaceport’ and rocket-launch facilities have died of their own stupidity. This is not the place for such, because we have a delicate environment, and our state is already populated!
Once again, someone is asking Hawaii to embrace a technology that does not even exist! Someone wants us to be the suckers, er, I mean guinea pigs, for an unproven, unsafe project."
I don't know where that quote came from, but if it's true, it seems to be typical Ruderman; construct a false argument against science. He did a similar thing with GMOs claiming his "expert", a yogic flyer whose only qualification was in dancing, shouldn't be questioned. The County Council sucked it up.
As much as I understand objections to a launch facility in Puna, it would be nice if our representatives didn't make stuff up. It makes everyone here look backward - and you can interpret that how you like, I mean it in two ways.
