Personal background
I'm from Haiti and I own a SignShop. I always say that men would be very selfish to think that he is the only intelligent life in this incredibly huge Universe. I hope to be alive when man will first make contact with an extraterrestrial intelligent life form.
I enjoy any science fiction movie even if it's bad, because anything men can imagine may exist somewhere in the Universe. At one time, not too long ago, men could only imagine that they could fly!
I take pride thinking that I'm part of the team searching for intelligent life in the Universe even if I dont really fully understand what my computer is doing but I can tell my friends that I'm part of that great community.
I found out just a few days ago that my brother's name and the names of his wife and kids along with a million other names were engraved on a microchip that was placed on the Stardust satellite that was lauched in july 99 on an orbit around the sun to rendez-vous with Comet Wild2 and is due back in 2006. I was very excited about it and was disappointed that my name was not picked. My brother was not excited at all. Anyway I should be on there, not him.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think that the most probable way for us to discover extraterrestrial life is with the use of RadioTelescopes.
We may encounter extraterrestrial life that are thousands of years more advanced than us. When one thinks of the progress we made in only 100 years, it's breathtaking and scary at the same time. We have to keep one thing in mind: the laws of nature are probably the same everywhere, "The strong will dominate"
But if we keep on thinking about the dangers, we will stop searching and discovering. This is not exactly our nature which is why I run SETI@home. I want to know what's out there. When I look at the night sky, tens of questions come to my mind, so far unanswered...
