| Personal background |
|---|
I'm 28 years old, I'm single, going steady with a very special woman, 5,8", dark hair, brown eyes and fair skinned. I work in a Bank, have a PhD in Linguistics and love to draw, paint, write and paly computer games.
I read a lot and I'm also a big cinema fan.
From day one space has been my thing, dark and mysterious, infinite and romantic. By helping SETI I'm probably helping the best minds of our time leap the amount it takes for fiction to become fact, by number-crunching their data and making tomorrow that little bit closer of today.
I would also like to thank SETI for encouraging me and other cyber-Doe's to become part of something much larger than our pale selves. We are now part of the dream, the human dream:
- I can't be alone in an infinite universe. Let me help SETI find our neighbours!

It's obvious we're not alone. Mathematically, it's beyond highly improbable that in a Universe of trillions of stars and millions of planets only BlueDot would hold life, never minda intelligent life.
It is our duty as humans, and as part of one the most curious races in our planet to find out if there is actually someone out there.
If there is, no matter their intentions, ignorance is never bliss in these matters. The earlier we get the warning, the more chnaces we'll have to do something about it. Let's just hope they're not all like George W. Bush, and they have not decided to stockpile amunnition, or decided to overfund their defense budgets. Imagine what we could learn and how that would change our perspective of literally eveything in our lives.
Voyager burst out of our system to tell the universe we were here, but with even less impact than a bottle ina an ocean equivalent to the size of the Milky Way. We need to do it in style. A new mission is needed, a higher-profile one. The message should be in micro-bursts of light in all the existent spectrum,at reular intervals, in a solar-wind powered sattelite, virtually eternal, unless it crashed into something. If so, the contents shlould be proteceted against colission by all possible means. Perhaps the remains will be found.
To help SETI is our human duty since the project started. To find what's out there is our human dream since the dawn of time.
Make it so. :)
