Cool Aloha from the Big Island of Hawai`i

Iceman and all,

It is a great discovery, IceInSpace.com, and hope to visit often. Astronomy is very active on our island with many large instruments on our Mauna Kea. But I bet you know that. There is a 30meter telescope in the works and the same location is one of the five remaining possible sites.

Many of us here are ambivalent on the profusion of telescopes on the top of Mauna Kea. Never having been a member of the "My telescope is bigger than yours" group, I sometimes wonder about the value received for the massive expense of these installations. Your view is welcome on all things as I do have much to learn.

Thank you for having such a wonderful community and for letting me be a part of it.
