| Personal background |
|---|
I am from Uruguay (a rather little country on the Atlantic shores of South America, between the giants Brazil and Argentina.
I was born on October 2nd, 1951, in Montevideo, the Uruguayan capital city, and nowadays I live in Ciudad de la Costa, a "bedroom city" about 20 kms. from the center of Montevideo, in a neighbourhood called "Shangrila", two blocks away from the beach, with my wife and daughter.
I´m just a clerk, a common employee at an accountant´s office, but since I was a little kid, I dreamed of space and stars. I read my first science fiction story ("Lulungomena" or "Chain of orders", I don´t exactly remember which was really first) at the age of nine. After that came, of course, Bradbury, Heinlein, and the greatest of all (as a writer and as a man), my beloved Good Doctor Isaac Asimov. So, when I heard about SETI HOME, I inmediatly added to this wonderful effort.
And it really feels great. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

1. I´m sure that extraterrestrial life exists. I hope we will discover it before I die, so I pretend to reamin alive for the next 30 years. I think that the benefits will be a a sense of brotherhood of humankind, confronted to the inmensity of a living cosmos out there. No dangers at all, except for those who belong to what Asimov called "The Armies of the Night".
2. I think that we had already sent that beacon, unintently. Maybe the information included is not as good as I would pretend, but...
3. Not being a trained scientist, but just a lover of science and stars, it was the best thing I could do. Maybe, it is the the greatest project that humanity has ever proposed and, with a little luck, it will be just so. Suggestions? KEEP ON, please!
