Personal background
I've been interested in astronomy since i was a little kid, about 9 or 10. I own two telescopes of my own, and although I don't use them as much as I should I do enjoy using them. I just started my freshman year at the University of Arizona, and I plan on majoring in Astronomy. Hmm... anything else... well I subscribe to Sky & Telescope and try to keep up on the info on our ever expanding knowledge of the universe, and I read a physics or astronomy book every now and then, but that's about it.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
In my opinion there is DEFINATELY other life out there. Other intelligent life... it's more than likely that there is. Will we contact this other life? Now this is the doubtful part. Finding intelligent life ESPECIALLY in my lifetime, and I'm 18 right now, is about as likely as everybody in the city of Santa Barbara, random thought, winning the lottery consecutively. People might be thinking as they read this, "So why do you bother with SETI@Home?" It's not beacause it makes my computer useful, and it's not because I think it looks cool. I run SETI@Home because there is that very, very, VERY slim chance that we will find intelligent life in my lifetime, and I would like to say that I was a part of it. Anyway I always have liked Santa Barbara.
