Personal background |
I am 35 years old. I live in Hastings, MN which is app. 20 miles SE of the Twin Cities(Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN)metropolitan area. I am self employed (I own a small cleaning business)and have two children-a 7 year old boy and 17 month old girl. I am also a HUGE Star Trek fan, and the thought of locating extra solar intelligent life is supere exciting to me. |
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
I believe E.T.'s exist. If and how we will discover them is hard to say. Sometimes extraordinary discoveries are made in ways and places that we do not expect. Benefits or dangers will be extremely small, in any event they will be long in coming because the E.T.'s have the same problem we do-the sheer vastness of space precludes physical travel between stars and even radio or optical communication requires years for even a one way contact. To say HI to an E.T. on a planet in the Alpha Centauri system (Hypothetically) and get a Hello back would require 9 years. Question number 2 is a moot point, because a transmission was sent from Earth via Arecibo in 1974. The star system it was sent to is 50 light years away, so we might get a reply on 2074! I believe this project is quite possibly the most important scientific effort ever undertaken and should proceed at all costs. |
