Paint the damn thing cinder red-brown . Skip all the reasons why not to .
Good idea, they should paint all the telescope buildings to match the background, and maybe consider putting up some painted panels to match the slope, try to blend the whole mess into the mountain profile. It wouldn’t cost much and it might help lower the political temperature. Sure a gleaming “temple of science” has some attraction, but not if it pisses off the locals.
The observatory techs say they must use white or silver reflective paint to help keep the interiors properly cooled during the days . However the “political temperature ” is such that tremendous opposition is generated towards them and what they do up there and that pressure may prevail . Find another way to keep the interiors properly cooled ( it’s 13,700 ft , for Christ’s sake!) and paint the outsides in a cinder camo color . Haven’t they ever heard “out of sight out of mind” ? Their insistence for white and silver is a great big middle finger to all those ,looking up, whom oppose this usage of the Wao Akua .
Look, I have zero sympathy for the spiritual argument, that’s a bunch of superstitious nonsense imo . . . well, in fact. But, the white lumps on the summit are noticeable, and it would be a good idea to lower the temperature . . . inside and out. If heat is a big concern, what’s with all the windows? Cause it looks neat, they think.
Delay, Delay, Delay.
You mean the Supreme Court forgot to consider the cultural impact??? They need to review and reverse their decision right away!!!
Of course they considered the cultural impact and judged it inconsequential at best. The court should reject this immediately.
give it up already-let see lets go back to the stone age and run around naked and eating other
It’s gonna take ten years to build. Add your age now by ten. Get it going already. This benefits the whole world. Not just a “FEW”. It could save mankind. The eye to the sky is a gift to all mankind, even a gift to the protesters. Don’t short change the children.
