| I am from a small town, far far away... I am 20. I found out about SETI@home at an interview for Aerospace Engineering at Penn State. So, I decided to try it. |

1. I know there is life out there. As was said in Contact: "I would be an aweful waste of space if there wasn't." We will find "it" when we choose to stop looking. If we do not find "it", they will find us at either the peak or the trough of their civilization.
2. We should send specific messages of peace and our developement as a civilization. However, we do send quite a bit of information out into space...
3. I run SETI@home because I want to say I contributed to the "wasteful hunt for little green men." The project is wonderful. When I was told about the computing hours for this opperation and later in the interview I was attending told of the parrallel processors needed to illustrate airflow over a wing section being tested, I nearly went into shock. Almost 100 processors take several hours to analyze an amount of data such as that for the airflow. Then I thought about calculating by hand... |
