| Personal background |
|---|
I was born in Southern California in 1947. I have lived here all my life. In the 1950's, we used to come camping in the Mojave Desert just to have a great look at the stars at night. The meteor showers were absolutely spectacular.
Now we live in Palmdale California, part of the Mojave Desert area. Now I watch the stars and meteor showers with my 8 year old daughter.
Almost 50 years have come and gone, but my interest in the stars and what is "Out There" has never changed.
My daughter Kate has a 4" telescope and has inherited my passion for the stars and beyond. I hope that her enthusiasm and interest remain with her for the rest of her life. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I am sure extraterrestrial life exists, I only hope that it's discovered by the right people first. I am also sure if there is a government involved that we will not get the whole truth about the situation.
Can the Human population of this planet handle that kind of discovery? I don't think so. We still have not learned to play well together.
Should we keep sending out a beacon signal and monitoring incoming signals? Absolutely! Maybe the discovery of another life form, one more advanced than ours, will knock us down a peg or two. I mean, we have not really done a great job of taking care of our planet. Maybe we might learn how to do a better job?
The free ride here on Earth won't last forever.After we use up all of our natural resources, the future for Humans may well be in the stars. That is the reason that I run SETI@home.
Thanks to all those who work on SETI. Think positive! You may be the light at the end of the tunnel. |
