Judge rules in favor of telescope protestersA Hawaiian judge has ruled that the state’s emergency order that had forbid camping on the mountain was invalid.
The state says that it will still prohibit anyone from blocking the road, but I don’t know how they will be able to do that if a large number of protesters camp on the mountain, ready to move and block any construction vehicles trying to get to the mountaintop.
I think it is time for the makers of the Thirty Meter Telescope to consider a move out of Hawaii. I believe they will never be able to get the telescope built as planned.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Hey, if Hawaii doesn’t want the telescopes, I’m pretty sure they’d be welcome here in Colorado Springs, up on top of city-owned Pikes Peak. The altitude is about the same, though they’d have to plow the (paved) road during the winter.
I wonder if these protesters follow an actual religion that had been practiced by the islanders prior to the modern era or if they are like the neo-pagans who decided to just make up a new religion borrowing the names of old gods but whose rites and rituals are modern. I have trouble trusting in the sincerity of Democrat environmentalist activists.
As a fellow Springs resident, I think that’s an awesome idea, though you are right about the snow issue.
A true tragedy. A waste of $100s of Millions and years in planning.
That mountain top should be seized under something resembling eminent domain. There are only 2 places in the world of this caliber and that means there are no other alternatives.
For those who suggest Pikes Peak, my understanding is that the Rockies do not have the stable air needed.
