Some also asked why the project couldn’t be done elsewhere."Why can't it be done elsewhere". LOL. Brilliant!
Question 1: Is the prime ag land being used for ag production at the moment? If not, why not? (hint - Ka'u thieves put orange, coffee, flower farmers out of business)
Question 2: Do community members understand that fast radio burst occur even if there are not antennas there to measure them? Would it matter?
Regarding Question 2, if community members were concerned then why not "look it up"?
Here's what Wiki says: "While extremely energetic at their source, the strength of the signal reaching Earth has been described as 1,000 times less than from a mobile phone on the Moon.[4]"
Let's be clear. Fast radio bursts occur whether there are telescopes or not. It makes no difference that they have no effect on anyone, whether they're in Ka'u, or anywhere else on the planet. Even if they did, there's nothing we can do about them.
Proposing a new scientific endeavor in Hawaii invariably brings the crazies out.
"Get it built by the Taiwanese now before ChiComs invade. " Fast Bursts" LOL and who gonna monitor bursts going back out ?"
