“I have yet to see the Mauna Kea Observatories (MKO) publish a long term study of all summit workers at the very high altitude observatory that shows what illnesses and occupational diseases they have developed, and what they have died from since 1967 when it first opened.”

“Dear Mauna Kea Observatories, I know that telescopes do not belong on sacred sites. I also know that you are willfully damaging your workers health by building astronomical observatories in known biologically toxic environments. As such, I now respectfully request your resignation from the very high altitude sacred mountain of Mauna Kea. Sincerely, Steven Magee, Damaged Mauna Kea worker.”

“I was living in a state where the mountains tower up to 12,637 feet and some of them have manned telescopes atop them! Many towns are thousands of feet high in Arizona! I saw people just like me in those telescopes. Confused and forgetful, struggling in their jobs, looking ill, clearly fatigued and known to the management teams for their poor performance in the workplace. Some of my astronomy coworkers have died relatively young, others have gone on to develop cancers and illnesses, and some are just weird! Hypoxia can do a myriad of strange things to people.”

“The only workplace that prevented a health and safety visit from occurring during my career was professional astronomy. They were adamant that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) were not going to be allowed to visit the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, USA. They were successful in canceling the scheduled OSHA visit and the result was I became much sicker as time progressed while working there. Part of that sickness was suspected mercury poisoning.”
