I’ve been to the top of Mauna Kea many times. It’s a magical place. I think there was a bad start to observatory construction in the earlier days when less respect was given. But the level of respect that is given to the mountain and people now seems appropriate, and I think is a mutually beneficial thing to have these telescopes so I am sad this resistance is still there. I do get that the TMT does damage a new previously untouched area, it’s unfortunate there wasn’t a spot where it could replace an existing older telescope.
