| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. Yes! Not likely in my lifetime; I'm already more than 10 years ahead of the Biblical allotment of 3 score 10. As an inventive people, the benefits are beyond imagination - the dangers will come from power hungry stupid people.
2. Do we not transmit an open invitation from various sites and far ranging exploratory space vehicles? Educated guesses for info transmission and careful analysis of possible signals as in SETI.
3. Participation in SETI@home is my contribution to the future. Views and suggestions are best coming from philosophers (& engineers who are keeping abreast of developments accoring to Moore's Law.
I'm hoping my "baby brother" (born 1928) will provide me with a good picture uning his digital camera.
