MK controversy thread

Thatʻs correct.  They track satellites not missiles.  I stand corrected.  And yes, Honolulu would be first but a site like this would still be of military importance and increases Mauiʻs likelihood of being attacked.

I don't understand your logic. Pearl Harbor would certainly be a first-strike target, but why would Haleakala be attacked? What would be the point after destroying Pearl Harbor and Honolulu? Mana Kea observatories also observe satellites. Does that make them targets as well? I can understand Hilo being a target due to having a deep-water harbor, but if that happened, the observatories on Mauna Kea would be useless anyway. But it's an irrelevant point.
