TMT consortium picks Canary Islands as alternative site to Hawaii
Faced with delays from protesters and an Hawaiian government slow-walking its permit process, the consortium building the Thirty Meter Telescope has announced that it will build the telescope on the Canary Islands if it continues to be blocked in Hawaii.
The article does not say when they will make this decision, but based on previous reports, they have to make their decision soon in order to begin construction no later than April 2018.
I fully expect them to abandon Hawaii, since I see no desire by the Hawaiian government to play fair during the new permit hearings. Instead, it seems to me that they are rigging this process so that it will never end.
Posted from the south rim of the Grand Canyon, where Diane and I plan a nice day hike tomorrow down the Hermit Trail.
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 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

Thank you Bob for staying on top of this important matter.
Be careful.
Sounds like fun.
OT but has our host or anyone else heard any news on that asteroid mining bill passed at the end of 2015? The bill required the administration to produce a report outlining the legality of the bill in relation to our international agreements.
I am guessing that creating the report isn’t much of a priority for the current administration and is either behind schedule or ignored.
Related, because everything is about politics and this seems to explain why things have been and are so upside down in America today:

Assange is getting his information from within our own government in order to stop out the Clinton / Soros take over of America? The internet has literally changed everything, even how takeovers and coups are executed.
Sounds reasonable to me, its the other edge of the sword.
