| Personal background |
|---|
I help design, build, and command scientific space instruments. I had a circuit board on Galileo (CMS Rate Logic in EPD), a sensor on Cassini (INCA), an instrument on GEOTAIL (EPIC), IMAGE (HENA), and MESSENGER (XRS), and have recently been helping with instruments for New Horizons (LORRI) and IBEX (IBEX-Lo TOF).
I'm 44, married, with a son and a dog, and a tank of fish. I enjoy swimming, hiking, and bicycling, especially with my family.
I think space exploration is very important, and that robotic and remote exploration will continue to be the most effective tool. I think that a permanently occupied lunar outpost is the logical next goal for manned space flight. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I run SETI@home because finding extraterrestrial intelligence would be one of the most significant events in human history.
SETI@home is an excellent step. The use of global distributed computing power was a great idea.
My suggestion to everyone is to be patient...it's a very large universe. |
