"New TMT team changes approach to get community support, but is it too late?"
"It’s been five years since thousands of protesters blocked the start of construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope planned near the summit of Mauna Kea.
"Now, a different management team is trying a different approach to try to move the telescope forward.
“On behalf of my organization, I want to start by apologizing for causing all the divisions in the community,” said TMT Project Manager Fengchuan Liu as he began an interview with Hawaii News Now.s [sic]"

I question whether it was five years ago that protesters blocked construction. I have no idea where they get that fact from; it's just wrong. On the other hand, the TMT team did an awful job with those protesting the TMT and the other observatories on Mauna Kea. I don't know how they recover from that.
