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.
