TMT likely to abandon Hawaii
Officials from the consortium that is building the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) have revealed that they are looking very seriously at alternative locations.
Officials behind the proposed Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) are considering new locations for the $1.4bn facility, and expect to decide whether to opt for a new site early next year. The TMT is due to be built on Hawaii’s Mauna Kea mountain but, following protests from local residents, its building permit was revoked last December by the state’s Supreme Court. New locations that are being considered include Baja California in Mexico, the Canary Islands and Chile, as well as locations in India and China.
They claim that Hawaii is still their first choice, but if they don’t see any progress by summer in the permitting process, I expect them to tell Hawaii to go to hell (though not in those words) and pick somewhere else.
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. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
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

Do we have any idea how much money the TMT folks have wasted in this process?
All existing telescopes should all immediately fire everyone and move the instruments to Chile, same thing for the university. Hawaii is anti-science, no educated person has any business to do there. Let the primitives take care of themselves without using any manufactured objects. Disgusting how the primitives greed destroys civilized society. But that’s what they do, le t them pay the full price for it. Without any form of modern health care few of the primitives will survive to the age of 40. That is how they want it, give it to them. Let their children die in masses, that’s the lifestyle in the anti-scientific societies. That’s what the primitives want. The problem will soon exterminate itself on its own stupidity and corruption. Get rid of’em.

The problem isn’t the native Hawaiians. It’s the Democrats that fill their heads with prejudice to be weaponized against groups Democrats dislike.
“. . . tell Hawaii to go to hell (though not in those words) ”
Why not in those words? When someone is making your life hard, you have no obligation to be nice.
Wow some savage words used.
