Profile: Caleb Sunstrum

Personal background
I was born and raised in Calgary, which is in Canada for those who may not know. At a very young age I began my fascination with space, and checked out every book in the library on the topic. My fascination has never subsided, and I am now enrolled in university, taking a major in Astrophysics. I hope to work for NASA someday.


I'm also a small-time poet, with some of my work published (www.poetry.com) but most of it kept private. I work to fund my schooling for the contractor which runs the cable lines in for Shaw. I also have quite a few computer skills and have been repairing them since I was 7 years old.


I'm a very open person who loves to engage in conversation on nearly any topic, and I would greatly welcome anyone who wishes to converse with me on the topics which we all love. I can be reached at novulae@hotmail.com.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe SETI@home is a feeble attempt at something which we should be concentrating many more resources on. The odds of intelligent life existing, once you factor in the billions upon billions of stars out there, are rather good, and therefore, we should make more of an effort to make contact with them. We should not only listen for messages, but send them. After all, there may be some alien out there listening for a message, and isn't getting one because we aren't transmitting.


Space is the future of mankind, as we have explored nearly everything there is to explore on this planet. Humans are explorers, and without something unknown to explore, we will grow restless and discontent. These space stations we are building are a great first step. Our next should be a manned mission to Mars.
