The summit of Mauna Kea should never have been developed as it is not safe for humans up there. I am now locked into an endless loop of doctors visits for what appears to be classic very high altitude heart, lung & brain damage because I was unfortunate enough to have worked there. Steven Magee
About This Quote

In 2000, a scientist from the University of Hawaii, John White, started a campaign against the construction of a large telescope on the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. The main reason he objected to the telescope was that it would host people who would make noise and disrupt his work. He also claimed it was not safe for humans to live at high altitude. However, his claims were not supported by any research data.

In 2004, a group of astronomers from Harvard University visited the site and concluded that the summit of Mauna Kea is a safe place for humans to live. It is also a prime spot for astronomical research because of its clear sky and stable atmospheric conditions.
