|---|
When I was 5, my dad bought me a telescope. I spent as much as three hours a night in my backyard looking at the moon, searching to find stars that were listed on the chart that came with the telescope. I wanted to be an astronomer. I wanted to be the one who found extra terrestrial life. Reality later set in as I realized I'm not the greatest at math. But I still am in awe of the heavens and would love to know that I helped create that first contact.
I'm a 27-year-old newspaper editor in Austin, Texas. I got married in June, 2001 (my wife always says, "do you want me to let the computer dial up to try to find your aliens? whenever SETI is asking for another connection.) I have a wonderful two-year-old son who is so fascinated by the world around him. I'm going to help him realize how amazing life is and how wonderful and breathtaking the concept of infinite space is. |

| Yes, extraterrestrial life has to exist. How can we be so conceited and self-centered to believe the entire universe is here just for us. Our solar system is just a speck of sand in a giant ocean. Who knows when humans will discover alien life, but I sure hope it's in my lifetime. What an awesome feat that would be. Who knows the benefits and dangers, but we'd be crazy to not risk a chance. We should transmit a beacon and it should just have simple mathematic equations - just to let others know we have some intelligence and that we're here. I love SETI@home and will continue running it until you guys give up. My only suggestion would be to make the graphical interphase a bit more user-friendly (less math, more of what the heck you're doing - you can have the math, too for the less mathematically challenged.) |
