TMT shoul be built because it could benefit the hawaiian community. How it could benifit is when TMT is built they will donate scholar ship money so the Hawaiian children of hawaii can be educated and go to college. Also it will be opening up 300 jobs the are temporary and 150 permanent jobs. This can help support their families. It will also be teaching people about math, tech, science, and engineering.

TMT should not be built because it might destroy the mountain. It could also destroy the animals and the area. There is a bug on mount kea that is on the edge of extinction and TMT could make them extinct. Also TMT could destroy the Aquafri on Mauna Kea. Remember, "Protect this place before you look into space

TMT should be built because it'll give us a chance to find new born galaxies. It should also be built because it will help support Hawaii Island Schools. It'll also help support Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. It will also help make a scholarship program and open 120-140 permanent jobs.

Tmt should not be built. It should be built because it is desecrating sacred land. It is also a sacred burial site. Poliahu is the God of snow. It is also being built on a volcano so it can explode anytime. There is also endangered species and small animals on the mountain. The palila is one of the endangered species.

TMT should be built. It should be built because if we explore the galaxies out in space, we could find new life. We could also find a planet that is s safe to live on. If we build TMT, many jobs will open up for many people. Many scholarships will also be given out like from the pauahi foundation.

TMT should not be built. Mauna Kea is a very sacred mountain full of mana, burial grounds, and endangered species. TMT will not bring knowledge because we're just looking out into space. We should just focus on our planet to keep it healthy, so we can't pollute.

TMT should be built! TMT should be built because this could be an essential tool. It will allow us to look into space and discover other stars, galaxies, and see if there is any life on other planets. Plus stars is a big part of the Hawaiian culture.

TMT should not be built! TMT should not be built because we didn't need telescopes to help us navigate to the Hawaiian islands. Plus, our ancestors bones were buried there. As well as the meeting place for Father Sky and Earth Mother. The mountain is so scared that you can't even put heiau, but now people keep building telescopes on it.

# data[].attributes.body
The TMT should be built because it will allow us to see even further into space. IT will allow us to study dark matter and dark energy. The TMT's goal is to find another planet that sustains life. It will be able to see into other galaxies and it will produce sharper images.

The TMT should not be built on Mauna Kea. People are coming in and building on our ancestors. They are pushing the bones to the side and disrespecting all Hawaiians. The technology will only expand also and then how many telescopes will we have?

# data[].attributes.body
Tmt should be built because there are many more galaxies that haven't been discovered yet. This project will provide 300 construction jobs and 150 permanent jobs. This project will also give 1/4 million dollars to the town of hilo.

I believe that tmt should not be built because Mauna Kea is sacred to the Hawaiians because there is a burial ground of our Hawaiian ancestors, and there is an adze quary that makes adze and is part of a awaiian legend.

TMT should be built because it can help future astronomers and TMT will donate money to many programs like the STEM(Science,Technology ,engineering and Math) and the Pauahi Foundation. TMT will also be able to take sharper pictures which will help Scientist answer questions many people don't know and questions stuck in people's head still to be answered.

TMT should not be built because the Mountin is very sacred to Hawaiians. For example, legends were held there about Poliahu and Pele. Also many of our ancestors were buried there, so TMT will be built on burial grounds. Mauna Kea has a real name which is Mauna a Wakea. Which means that this Mauna belongs to the God Wakea, father sky. This Thirty Meter Telescope will affect some of our aquifer. Chemicals from some of the cleaning materials will go into the water system and into some of the rivers Which flow into our waters.

# data[].attributes.body
The TMT should be built because it will improve our world like astronomy. There are going to be 300 jobs open and 150 jobs that are going to be permanent for people who have to support their family. Also TMT would be able to see more planets it might be able to see new planets. TMT can see further things more clear than any other telescope can do, and TMT can study the stars more better. It was said that TMT was 10 times better than all the other telescopes.

I think they shouldn't build TMT because Maunakea is our sacred land Hawaiians sacred land. It has been our sacred land ever since the Polynesians discovered this island. That is where our ancestors were buried that is why it is so sacred. Ancient Hawaiians also had a lot of ceremonies on Mauna Kea.

# data[].attributes.body
We should build TMT because it will help with science. We can look farther in to space and we can see planets far away. It could help us kids doners donate money for programs like STEM ( science, technology, engeiniring, Math) We could also look for signs of life to find places where we could live.

We shouldn't build TMT because the hawaiian culture needs to stay alive. We need to keep our Hawaiian culture alive because in the old days the foreigners took our cultre and mauna kea is one of our only thing that can connects us.

# data[].attributes.body
We should build tmt because we can find new planets. We can find new places for humans to live also discover the other 96% of the universe. If we build tmt we can probably discover black holes off what they look like and learn more about other planets that we don't know about. We should build tmt because we can learn the new things for the new generation coming

We should not build tmt because it's destroying where some of our ancestors are. Also it's making the mountain look like it has bubbles on the top of it. Another thing is that it's destroying facts that we could discover more about our hawaiian ancestors. We should just take down the old telescopes cause we are getting to advanced tech so it's improving more so they can wait so they can build the 39 meter telescope in chile.

TMT should be built because it will have a huge impact in how we see ourselves and the universe. It will not harm the aquafier and hydrologists have proved so. It will be at least 10x better than the Hubble telescope. It will be 3x bigger than the latest telescop. It will donate money to schools and provide 300 construction jobs and 120-140 permanent scientific jobs.

I think that TMT should not be built because Mauna Kea is a very sacred mountain because it is the piko of our island and is the meeting place of Papa Hanau Moku and Mauna a Wakea. It will need lots of drilling will will cause ruptures that will harm lots of little animals like the extremely endangered species the Wekui bug. It will make tons of waste building and while it's running.

Tmt (thirty meter telescope) should be built because it will further all our education in science and it will build more jobs in Hilo and Maunakea. The TMT will be built on Mauna Kea because it is the best place for it to be built. It is the best place because Mauna Kea is higher than the clouds and the weather almost always stays the same temperature. TMT does have elemental chemicals or Mercury but it is proved by hydrologists that the chemicals will not affect our aquifer or most reliable water source. Mauna kea is the home of 13 telescopes in all; 12 operational and 1 in an update. TMT will see clearer than other 13 telescopes. Scientists hate when the stars twinkle because it will get blurry. TMT should be built.

A'ole TMT. No TMT! TMT should not be built because it is sacred lands because of kupuna' burial places. Protesters or "protectors" chant and do traditional dances on Mauna Kea to try to stop the building. Protesters block roads and get arrested for the blocking of builders to reach 13,150 ft above sea level. The protectors chant Ku Kia'i Mauna, kind of like protect our Mountain! They also share touching moments with police men. Mana Kapela a protestor shared hā with a police officer on top of Mauna Kea. Ku Kia'i Mauna.

We sould build TMT because it can help you in the future. Some people sY that the sun will blow up. We can start finding new life and get ready for when the sun may super nova. TMT will have 300 opened new jobs and 150 for construction. Also we can learn more about astronomy and find out more unknown questions about outer space and the universe. This is why TMT should be built.

TMT should be stopped. TMT should be stopped because it is being built on sacred land. When you build TMT on Mauna Kea it's like building something on your ancestors. Also people used to burri their child's embeliclle cord. This was very sacred in those days.

TMT, the thirty meter telescope should be built because it will help educate the keki of hawaii. It will help astronomers look deeper into space. This telescope will help them look at the stars with sharper views. When you look at the stars it appears blurry because it is blocked by a canopy of air. TMT will look into the Galaxy and search for a planet or a galaxy that can sustain life.

Mauna Kea is sacred to the hawaiians. They respect the hawaiian Gods and goddess. Mauna a wakea and papahanau moku, and poliahu, mauna a waikea is father sky, papahanau moku is Mother Earth and poliahu is the goddess of snow. Mothers would burry their babies embilical cord up on Mauna Kea. But building this thirty meter telescope will desecrate the sacred mountain

The TMT should be built because the TMT will help a lot with science. It will help with science beacuse it help the scientist see farther into the Galaxy or our universe. The TMT will also see way better than the other telescopes. The TMT has 492,145 in mirror segments. The adaptive optics systems sense atmospheric turbulence. The TMT is also going to help the hawaiian community because the TMT will produce one million dollars a year that will be split between the Ke Ali'i Bernice Pauahi Foundation and the Hawaiian Community Foundation. The TMT will also donate part of the money to the scholarships of the Hawaiian schools. Also most of the money to build the TMT will not be all from the government most of the money will be from Canada and other countries that support the TMT project..

The TMT shouldn't be built because it could affect the sacred mountain "Maunakea". The TMT will have to drill about 7 stories down so it won't move, but the drilling could shake the mountain and the mountain could erupt and it could be a big mess.

# data[].attributes.body
TMT can make you a better future for The future generation. With TMT you Can look deeper in to space. We can see forming Galaxy and look in to nabiore galaxy's so if we can see new galaxy's then we can teach about other galaxy's in science and we don't need to just learn about the Milky Way Galaxy.

On the other hand they will be drilling in to the side of Mauna Kea. And the Mauna is sacred because ther are 3 goddesses and 1 God. The goddesses are poliʻahu the goddesses of snow, her boy Friend witch is Kukahau Ula witch is red sun or red snow. Lilinoe or the most also lives up there. Also Waiau or the lake. This are all water forms. But Kukahau Ula melts the ice and the water makes an aquifer.

I think TMT should be built because TMT will allow quality seeing to the scientist so they can see the dark parts of space. TMT is also supposed to detect other planet and it will also bring more than 100 jobs to the people of hawaii and other people. TMT should also be built because with in 4 million years the sun will blow up like all the other stars.

TMT should not be built because on Mauna kea when poliahu and pele had a battle on Mauna Kea there was left with a stone quarry. Mauna Kea is also sacred to the hawaii and it is a is an do at volcano.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that having the tmt telescope on Mauna Kea would be a good thing because it will improve astrometry and benefit our world. Tmt will help because I it will be able to see far in to space and just mabey be able to find another planet to sustian life. I also know that tmt will not be harming any cultural recourses.

I think that tmt is a bad thing because the mautian belongs to Wakea. Also because it will be harming our water source. This will happen because when they build tmt less water will be going to lake waiau.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that TMT should be built because it will further advance us into the scientific community. They will give us a greater amount of knowledge on the universe and space that we live in. Contrary to the popular belief, hydrologists confirmed that the telescope will not harm the aquifer on the mountain. Also, TMT is not being built on sacred land. It I being built on the land that the scientists were permitted.

TMT should not be built because it is like desecrating the mountain, which has sacred/cultural importance. People bury their ancestors and their umbilical cords up there. While they're not building TMT directly ON the burial grounds, it's the idea of building on the mountain and what it will lead to. Technology will always be advancing, and they will build more telescopes.

# data[].attributes.body
TMT should get built because it will have the quality to see better. For example the TMT will be able to see farther, sharper things, and many things that will make it better. Another reason why it's good is because it will give scholarships to people that are going to college. The next reason why is because there has been many galaxies that haven't been discovered yet. That very last reason why the TMT should be built becuase it will help our science education. (for kids and adults)

I think that TMT should not be built (aʻole TMT) because it is sacred land/ mountain . It is sacred because it is the Piko of our island. What I mean by that is because it's in the center of our island. Another reason why is because that have a bug up there that is called that weiku bag and it's becoming endangered. The last reason why TMT should not be built is because TMT was the first built of our universe so that make Mauna Kea like our Jesus.B

# data[].attributes.body
TMT should be built because Hawaiians like to gaze at the stars, and this is a way to gaze even closer into detail. TMT doesn't want to harm, and it's not. TMT is going to be built in a hidden place so it wouldn't harm anybody or anything. They chose Mauna Kea because of it's stable weather.

TMT should not be built because this telescope is built on a sacred mountain to Hawaiians. If you didn't know, TMT may destroy the weiku bug. Mauna Kea is the habitat of this bug. In the legends Mauna A Wakea belongs to the God Wakea. So , Mauna Kea is the meeting place for Mauna A Wakea and Papa Hanau Moku.
