    Re: Thirty Meter Telescope Proposal For Mauna Kea

    As an aside:

    ThePolynesians were the greatest explorers and navigators of the Earth, ever. They discovered and populated a larger area than any other ethnic group, though the land area was small, the distances of ocean travel were huge.

    Kinda sounds like space, "the final frontier."

    That other ethnicities are building upon Polynesian exploration without including Polynesians being a major part is insulting and demeaning. No wonder they are protesting.

        Amazing that this thread started in 2008. One great thing of having this forum still online is the accidental time capsules it captures.

                  Most big telescopes is not meant to view objects that close to the Earth. Assuming that the Thirty Meter Telescope had been built, operating and pointing in the general direction of when that meteor whizzed by would have caused some frustration by the observatory staff.

                  Think of it in this way. You setup a telescope on an upper level lanai in Waikiki that points toward the ocean so that you can see the ships that pass by in the distance. All good and well until a cockroach happens to plant itself on the far lens of the telescope.

                        "By a more than 2-to-1 margin — 64% to 31% — of registered voters in Hawaii who were polled say they favor building the state-of-the-art telescope, most of them strongly in support. Only 3% say they are unsure while another 3% say the issue does not matter to them.

                        "They also do not like how Gov. David Ige has handled the TMT issue. [...] Only 21% of those surveyed have a positive opinion of the governor’s leadership on the issue compared to 53% who hold negative views."

                          The problem with the Civil Beat poll is "registered voters". I suspect most of those who are opposed to TMT are not registered voters.

                          I was one contacted by the poll last week and of course I am in support of TMT. I'm one of the 64%.
                          I'm still here. Are you?

                              I give BJ Penn chance against TMT. What are the odds in Vegas?
