| Personal background |
|---|
I'm from Long Island, NY, now living in Maryland. I've been a firefighter, a paramedic, a boatbuilder, a journalist, a paratrooper, and now I'm in grad school to become a P.A. My father helped design the propulsion system for the LEM and worked closely with the Apollo astronauts, so I grew up in an environment full of space-related conversation and speculation. Unfortunately, space exploration seems to have lost its luster lately (lately meaning since Apollo 17). No matter-- SETI keep on going and going and going....
I'm 30 now, soon to be 31. I used to live on my boat, until I sold it to pay for grad school. Sailing is still a hobby, though, whenever I can mooch a ride from someone.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. Absolutely. Statistically, life has to exist elsewhere, the universe is too big for it not to. Besides, Stanley L. Miller showed fairly convincingly that the building blocks of life aren't too hard to brew.
2. Absolutely. If you were alone in a dark cave, wouldn't you yell? Mathematics are probably the lingua franca of the universe, so how about a few equations-- and maybe the joke about the paper cowboy :)
3. Go, project, go! I run SETI@home because the idea is brilliant. If a million monkeys at a million typewriters, etc....It can't hurt, it can only help, and it's more productive than my Dr. Who screensaver. Glad to pitch in. |
