Profile: Ken Nurmi

Personal background
I'm a retired Navy warrant officer. My lovely wife and I live in a travel trailer full time in Redmond, Oregon. Until recently we were traveling the United States to see all the wonderful places we missed as we zipped past them while moving from one duty station to another. Since the tragedy of Sept 11, my wife has gone back to school to become a nurse and I have accepted a position with the federal government in the area of airline passenger safety and security. I continue to read science fiction and fantasy and as time permits I continue to work on my fantasy novels. I am enjoy science and want the SETI project to be an unqualified success. We will find someone out there because the universe is too large to harbor only one living planet.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. To think we are the only sentient life in the vast expanse of universal is ludicrous. But with the size of the universe and the minimal effort we have put into the search, I believe it will be a long time before we can possitively identify signs of other life. I am pleased that Hubble has begun to find planets outside our own solar system. Hopefully the combined searches of the heavens will eventually bear fruit. 2. With all the EM noise we are sending into space, I believe we are already sending out numerous beacons. 3. I am interested in the work of SETI and I consider this to be my miniscule donation to help with that search.
