The astronomers at the Mauna Kea Observatories (MKO) have built some of the most biologically toxic facilities that a sea level adapted human can work in.

The Mauna Kea Observatories (MKO) are part of the scientific military-industrial complex of modern governments.

This is what daily working is like at the very high altitude Mauna Kea Observatories (MKO): Get the workers up the mountain as fast as possible with a short stop for breakfast. Tell the workers to take the company supplied drugs to do their jobs and get the sickened workers off the mountain as fast as possible at the end of the work day. The sickened workers spend their evenings feeling really crappy and repeat the cycle again the next day.

By day 3 of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project atop Mauna Kea and after the first arrests of protectors, the ‘Immediate Halt To The Construction Of The TMT Telescope On Mauna Kea’ petition had 31,322 signatures and was rapidly increasing.

Regarding the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project atop Mauna Kea, the elephant in the room is High Altitude Observatory Disease (HAOD).

At the age of 49, it had emerged that I had immune system dysfunction that was arising out of hormone damage from working in high altitude astronomy.

There is a price that astronomers must pay for damaging workers health and it is the demolition of the biologically toxic Mauna Kea Observatories.

I did not think much about working at the 13,796 feet high summit of Mauna Kea until I started working there. Every day atop the mountain was spent feeling really crappy and taking company supplied drugs so that I could do my job. My love of Hawaii kept me working there for five years until my health started to fail.

High Altitude Observatory Disease (HAOD) is an inconvenient truth that is being ignored by the toxic Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project atop Mauna Kea.
