Momoa has been sustained by fellow Hollywood superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, that explained on The Tonight Program With Jimmy Fallon last month that the building is occurring at an area that Johnson likened to church premises.

” This is so much larger than a telescope being constructed,” stated Johnson. “This is humanity; these are people whose hearts are hurting, and also I think any time circumstances like that show up … that’s our sign that we’ve got to stop. Let’s be considerate, let’s be empathetic, as well as let’s always look after our people.”

It’s fantastic to see that Momoa and also Johnson are utilizing their platforms to support causes they believe in. It’s unclear whether or not they will, prevent any progress made on the telescope right now. However, they may be getting some momentum as more prominent individuals to lend their support to the cause.
