My girlfriend calls me a ‘Sucker!’ for working in the biologically toxic field of high altitude professional astronomy.

There were times I would drive home after an extreme set of night shifts and have no recollection of the journey.

Truth is the greatest enemy of professional astronomy.

Mal-acclimatization to very high altitudes is the enemy of mental and physical health in the sea level adapted human.

Never blatantly shaft the smartest person on the team.

Professional astronomers have successfully evaded researching Mauna Kea Sickness in their summit workers and their offspring, and it is unacceptable for this to continue.

Professional astronomers should consider their tenure atop the sacred mountain of Mauna Kea temporary, as biological science is in the process of characterizing Mauna Kea Sickness in the summit workers.

The medical profession seem incompetent at diagnosing Low Level Radiation Sickness (LLRS).

Mauna Kea Sickness (MKS) needs to be thoroughly researched and characterized by the medical profession before any more very high altitude workplaces are built on the summit. It is likely that once Mauna Kea Sickness is well characterized, all of the manned summit facilities would need to be removed on the grounds of health and safety.
