Article:
The judicial veil draped over the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) is now lifted with the findings and decision of contested case hearing officer Riki May Amano that the project should proceed.
The decision is now referred to the Board of Land and Natural Resources (BLNR) to determine next steps on Sept. 20. From my perch as an Office of Hawaiian Affairs trustee, I observe three interlocking dimensions to the moving-forward equation.
First, there is the business of whether the ambitious 18-story-high TMT facility will survive this second-time-around scrutiny by the BLNR as meeting conservation district use criteria, given what I expect will be an emotion-charged public hearing process.
ADVERTISING
Second, there is the hot-button concern driven by Hawaiian opponents of TMT, who have successfully rallied thousands of supporters globally who cite the project as a disrespectful pursuit rife with cultural injury to the sacredness of Mauna Kea.
Third, there is the matter of the ticking clock imposed by the multinational TMT consortium of academic institutions and its need for a hurry-up process that yields “reasonable assurances” by this fall that construction can begin in April of 2018.
To the question of whether the TMT passes muster as an allowable use of conservation district land, I believe the BLNR cannot simply consider the TMT in a vacuum that ignores the 25-year history of expansion. The astronomy complex that crowns the mountain now houses 13 observatories sprawled across 500 acres, which is five times the size of Ala Moana Beach Park.
A decommission plan is long overdue that provides a time frame for deconstructing observatories as they become obsolete, so that there is a predictability to the shrinking of the footprint of the complex. I believe there are already at least two observatories that fall into the obsolete category.
The claim of cultural injury by opponents who cite any digging into the mountain as a cultural injury flies in the face of the well-documented historical record of land-use traditions.
Through the centuries Hawaiians repeatedly altered the Mauna Kea landscapes to build temple complexes, terrace massive acreages for food production, and dig deep into the mountainside to create quarries to access high-quality stone for tools.
Finally, the somewhat official ticking clock notification of a time-sensitive boundary driven by the consortium presents the highest level of vulnerability. Opponents will no doubt press the opportunity to bleed the time frame by exhausting every avenue of appeal so that the clock will run out and all arguments are rendered moot.
I join Hokule‘a navigator Chad Baybayan in saying that the real cultural injury results from not supporting this global opportunity of the millennium to be a leader in the search for knowledge of the universe that would lead us to the night of Po, the beginning of the universe, from whence came our ancestors.
Peter Apo has served on the Board of Trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs since 2010.

Teresa Lee Salgado Nakama The knowledge of where we came from .... is written in history throughout the world in old ancient scripts...no telescope on earth can see further than all the telescope in space...There is no immediate need for the TMT to be built to acquire knowledge...it is already being done with the space Telescope...James Webb...Kepler, WIRE,SPRITZER,iNFARED TELESCOPE IN SPACE, IRAS,HERSCHEL SPACE OBSERVATORY, HUBBLE,BRITE CONSTELLATION TELESCOPE...numerous more...

Teresa Lee Salgado Nakama MORE: The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is an astronomical observatory and the world's largest optical/near-infrared extremely large telescope now under construction. Part of the European Southern Observatory (ESO), it is located on top of Cerro Armazones in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. The design comprises a reflecting telescope with a 39.3-metre-diameter (126 foot) segmented primary mirror and a 4.2-metre-diameter secondary mirror, and will be supported by adaptive optics, eight laser guide star units and multiple large science instruments.[1] The observatory aims to gather 100 million times more light than the human eye, 13 times more light than the largest optical telescopes existing in 2014, and be able to correct for atmospheric distortions. It has around 256 times the light gathering area of the Hubble Space Telescope and, according to the ELT's specifications, would provide images 16 times sharper than those from Hubble.[2]
The ELT is intended to vastly advance astrophysical knowledge by enabling detailed studies of planets around other stars, the first galaxies in the Universe, supermassive black holes, and the nature of the Universe's dark sector, and to detect water and organic molecules in protoplanetary disks around other stars.[3] The facility is expected to take 11 years to construct.[4]
On 11 June 2012, the ESO Council approved the ELT programme's plans to begin civil works at the telescope site, with construction of the telescope itself pending final agreement with governments of some member states.[5] Construction work on the ELT site started in June 2014.[6] By December 2014, ESO had secured over 90% of the total funding and authorized construction of the telescope to start, which will cost around one billion euros for the first construction phase.[7] The first stone of the telescope was ceremoniously laid on 26 May 2017,[8] initiating the construction of the dome’s main structure and telescope. First light is currently planned for 2024.[9]

Rocky Kalani In my best kapu aloha, Apo is so wrong, has no clue of our people and culture, but as anyone with any psychology experience will tell you, is apo has the Stockholm syndrome. Then one of the original big five terrorist owned companies, The Staradvertiser, published it as truth. Do they check the story for truth, cross check for accuracy? Nope, We as a lahui got to stop buying this terrorist newspaper and maybe start one of our own that publishes the truth about astronomy, and how it lied and stole its way to thirteen.

Marty Martins Pay attention to the phony perspective of the artist's rendering of the TMT in the Star-Advertiser photo. It makes the TMT look small in relation to the other observatories up there. Never forget that monstrosity is going to be 18-stories tall, dwarfing the other structures on the mountain.
