Protesters block access to Mauna Kea to disrupt the groundbreaking ceremony for the Thirty Meter Telescope in 2014.Q: What was it about the working group that allowed it to succeed where other attempts had failed? Going in, to be honest, I wasn’t expecting an outcome. I stood up and said I would be willing to be the astronomy [representative] because I wanted to create more dialogue. I felt that was missing.
Q: What has been the reaction of the Mauna Kea observatories? Is there nervousness about the lease renewal process in 2033? There is a lot of nervousness and there was prior to this as well. With the authority, there is a feeling of hope because there is better dialogue. Now, the uncertainty is will [the authority] be able to get the leases done in time and what does that mean for the observatories? Will the lease terms be different? We don’t have answers yet.
