| Personal background |
|---|
| I am an Australian living in the US, I was born in 1960. I consider myself lucky in the fact I work at Gulfstream and am involved with the leading edge of technology in the commercial side of avionics devolopment and operations. My early years of experience included ten years of F-111 maintenance in the Royal Australian Air Force. I have always been interested in science and science fiction, and I do believe one goes hand in hand with the other. Major hobbies include aerospace, keeping up to date with technology through resources such as MIT's Technology Review, Scientific American, Aviation Week and Space Technology, and whatever else I can get my hands on. Most importantly I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my sweetheart Sandy, and my daughter Victoria. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I do believe out of all those billions of stars (and planets) there must be some form of other life(forms) out there, however I don't think I will have the full realisation in my lifetime.
As for the dangers of such a discovery, let's hope "they" are nothing like us.
As for setting up a beacon, unless we can pinpoint a point in space where life is suspected, then the damage is already done, all the omni directional garbage we have sent out unintentionally over many decades will probably be pretty confusing, let's hope there is massive signal degradation to stop it going too far.
I run SETI as a minor assistant in the hope of finding that "pinpoint" and have a chance to analyse any information being transmitted before setting up a beacon "response". |
