| Personal background |
|---|
| I am 28 year old housewife that enjoys gardening and looking at the stars through my telescope. I am limited on what I can see in the summer months due to the fact I live in Wasilla, Alaska. Darkness is pretty much gone during the summer. During the winter you are lucky to see 2 hours of daylight. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I think that it would be really narrow minded to think that we are the only life in the vast expance of the universe. I beleive we will find life in our own solar system. It may not be human. Chances are the first type of life we will find will more than likly be a bacteria, fungus, or another type of single cell life. On the flip side of the coin, discovery of such life might have serious repercutions. All aspects of life will have changed from a religious, economic, social, and scientific stand point.
I think we should send a beacon out but to do that would mean putting ourselves in a risky situtation. If in some point we decide to transmit a beacon we will need to upgrade planet secuity. We can not afford to let anything sneekup on us. If they have the technology to travel the distance required to reach our planet what other thing should we think about them?
What are their intentions? If we do send a beacon I believe we should send a copy of our genetic code and the propose for the signal.
The reason why I run SETI@HOME is because I like the idea that I can help narrow the feild of listening so that one day we will know if there is other life out there. |
