Reflecting on my time at the 2006 to 2008 observatory, I started to lose my voice in management meetings after extensively handling the rubber mercury mirror support system and the large glass jars of on-site stored mercury with my bare hands and no respiratory protection.

I am proud of the Mauna Kea protectors in Hawaii.

Over 275,000 people had signed to end the construction of the TMT telescope at the Mauna Kea Observatories (MKO) by week 20 of the protest.

My message to my high altitude frenemies is this: Your luck has ran out.

When I think of astronomy, I think of dangerous incompetents.

The scandal with the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) atop Mauna Kea is how it managed to obtain a construction permit to build a manned telescope in a known biologically toxic environment to workers. How many more people need to die, get injured or develop long term very high altitude sickness that will last a lifetime?

The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) atop Mauna Kea was an opportunity to push forward the science of High Altitude Observatory Diseases (HAOD).

Failure of the corporate governments promises to the people breeds mistrust among the masses.

I have no respect for Governor David Ige of Hawaii.
