That's an uncharitable take. The proposed observatory was through pristine dense forest, and one of the most important elephant corridors in Asia. It was opposed by the democratically elected government, and litigated in courts in an open and transparent way. The physics gains do not outweigh the environmental cost, and the fact that scientists were able to get valuable data from an observatory in the lifeless Antarctic is further justification not to build this.

Probably the human pseudonym of Paul the Octopus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Octopus).

Yes. I don't need to spend time in the US to keep the green card, though, because of the reentry permit.

My family and I all have green cards, but for the last 3 years, we have been living outside the US (in India) with re-entry permits. I work for a large tech company and have technically been "on assignment" for that time, but honestly, we've more or less shifted base entirely to India at this point.

Our re-entry permits are coming up for renewal soon. We're considering giving up my wife's and kids' green cards, and keeping only mine. The reason for keeping mine is twofold: (1) most of my assets are in the US, and I want to take my time shifting to non-US-domiciled assets to avoid the non-resident estate tax; and (2) I still travel frequently to the US -- 3 or 4 times a year -- for work.

Do you foresee any problems with my family giving up their green cards now, and me holding on to it?
