Letter: TMT must move forward for humanity’s benefit

I am not native to this state, but when the news broke that the Thirty Meter Telescope would be built, my pride in Hawaii grew to enormous size (“TMT to proceed,” Star-Advertiser, June 21).

After a long legal battle, a process that lawfully must happen, Hawaii chose to move forward for the benefit of all humanity. All due respect to the Native Hawaiians, whose ancestors followed the stars in order to find a better life. We must continue on the path laid out long ago.
