The most biologically toxic tourist attraction in Hawaii is the 13,797’ Mauna Kea summit tour.

One of the nice features of working the astronomy night shift atop Mauna Kea was that I would get to watch the beautiful Hawaiian sunset daily. I was later to realize that watching sunsets at 13,796 feet was undesirable for the biological health of sea level adapted humans.

There were no control room humidifiers when I worked atop the very high altitude summit of Mauna Kea and they showed up as I was leaving.

It is important that the public knows the full story about what is occurring on the very high altitude summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

The summit of Mauna Kea should never have been developed as it is not safe for humans up there. I am now locked into an endless loop of doctors visits for what appears to be classic very high altitude heart, lung & brain damage because I was unfortunate enough to have worked there.

Biological science is clear that the Mauna Kea Observatories must be shut down to protect the long term health of the summit workers. It will be interesting to see how long astronomers willfully ignore the science.

I regard taking healthy sea level adapted children to the 13,796 feet very high altitude summit of Mauna Kea as a form of child abuse.

14,000 Feet: Many people will be showing serious signs and symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). Some people may be experiencing visions and hallucinations. Many people will be displaying mental impairment, often called “Summit Brain”. Immediate descent to lower altitude is recommended for these people. Most people will be in oxygen starvation, also known as Asphyxia.

The need to use oxygen to offset ‘Summit Brain’ was never discussed during my job interview. Using oxygen daily came as a nasty surprise once I started working at the Mauna Kea Observatories.
