I got started in this at an early age. I already know the names of all the planets and like Jupiter the best because it is the biggest! Recently, I saw the moon using my dad's telescope. It was awesome! The craters and shadows really make it seam real! I hope to learn more about our solar system by the time I turn four next year.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
The more we can learn about our universe the better we will be as a race. People who are curious are the most intelligent and interesting people anywhere. We should be careful about contacting other civilizations. As shown by history of Christopher Columbus, when two cultures meet, the less technically advanced one may be in danger!
