decommissioning the observatories on Haleakala
Protestors tried to block construction of the solar observatory on Haleakala. They were removed from the road, pulled out from under the truck, arrested, and that was that. And unlike Mauna Kea, Haleakala does have military observatories there (one tested Reagan’s Star Wars laser), military space tracking, military personnel.
They also track space asteroids headed toward earth.
