“High Altitude Observatory Disease (HAOD) is a disease of intermittent hypoxia.” Quote by Steven Magee
“Torah is not just a book, not just a bunch of laws, and not just a history, but so much more. The Torah is a way ofd life to learn and live, and when studied, a spiritual way to understand life as well as providing instructions on getting closer to Adonai (God). When we treat others kindly, fairly, and lovingly, both in our home, social, and business lives, we are living Torah. The "truth" is the Torah is many things simultaneously.” ReligionSpiritualitySpiritual GrowthSpiritual LifeJudaismTorahReligion Meaning Author:Laura Weakley
“There appears to be a form of chronic mountain sickness that comes from years of repeated frequent mal-acclimitization to very high altitudes by the sea level adapted human living at sea level. It eventually shows up as sleep apnea, bruxism, erratic low blood oxygenation, fatigue, forgetfulness, confusion, gastrointestinal issues, nutritional deficiencies, hormone problems, radiation sickness and failure to acclimatize to any altitude. Left untreated it progresses onto include nerve pains throughout the body, food intolerance, heart arrhythmia's, headaches, irritability, depression, disease and premature death. I call it 'Magee's Disease’.” MountainDiseaseAstronomyOshaSicknessAltitudeMaunaKeaTmtMagee S Author:Steven Magee

“After I started working extreme night shifts, I began to think that someone was in the telescope control room with me. I would look for the person many times and would never find them.
