Personal background
I'm from Kansas City, Kansas,I just turned 30 and my career profession is working as a deputy sheriff for a local county agency here in KC. I enjoy computing and flight simulators and also the excellent freeware simulator "orbiter". Found out about SETI at home by word of mouth, and since i have a fairly high end computer, and a broadband connection, it runs non stop.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yes, I do believe life exists elsewhere in the universe, and probably alot closer than we think. I believe mars is still a big question mark, we just are not looking in the right places. And Jupiters moon europa probably has life on it. But other sentient beings are out there, the universe is simply too big and full of too many stars just like ours to not be full of life. The benifits of such of discovery would be many, I personally hope such a discovery will bring about a realisation that we are not just a bunch of nations but one nation...the human race. The dangers of a discovery also weigh in as maybe a retreat from what we dont know. Or maybe they will invade...lol I absolutely think we should transmit a beacon, to let them know we are here, or at least by the time someone gets the signal, they knew we were here. I run SETI at home because it is a brilliant idea. The distributed computing concept has certainly brought to them the worlds biggest supercomputer, and It also lets joe normal participate in something that could make worldwide headline news. One suggestion i have for the projects team members is to explain in laymans terms what the graphics on the program actually mean, because i am still a little mystified by it all.
