Is it interesting, how difficult is to write about us? Born in Czech Republic I joined Military full time before I was fifteen. After High School education and the entry exams, I was accepted to the Air Force Academy, where I graduated as a jet-fighter pilot flying MIG. After invasion of USSR into mine country in 1968 with disagreement of the communist government policy, I was dishonored and discharged from the Air Force, which left me no other choice, than illegally escape from the country to Canada. I was working in the airline industry where I retired after twenty-five years of service and did my study in Business Administration. I never left my love for flying and building my homemade flying replica of the famous Spitfire fighter. As a member of RAA (Canadian equivalent of EAA, Experimental Aircraft Association) I was not satisfied how some members are test flying and unnecessary losing their lives in homemade aircrafts. My Air Force education and military experience and after ten long years of work, allowed me to publish Flight Test Checklist. It is available through my web side. (Just click on the name).

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| With so many billions of stars and galaxies, the probability of the intelligent life is certainly much higher than our Earth being alone. (Sorry folks, in spite of mine flying experience or probably because of it, I never did see any UFO). The question is to find intelligent TECHNICAL life similar to us. Certainly there is intelligent society of porpoises, but they do not have an interest out of their environment to contact outside world. Or how about bees? Bee has to find the right flower. Than she communicates her find to other bees in the beehive. To do that, she has to have navigational skills, ability to communicate and remember. Is not that it is some primitive intelligence and if not, it must be a degree of conscience. According to Asimov calculations if our population will grow as in the present and based on availability of carbon, in some 10.000 years we will populate not just the Earth, but also all similar planets in the Galaxy. However, that did not happen with some unknown civilization up there. Therefore, the other civilization with the technical ability must be rare even as biological life is not. There certainly is no danger to try to contact it by any means available. It is exciting to look for such a civilization and that why I want to add my drop to that goal in Seti. It will take a time, but I hope that being over sixty, it will be still in my lifetime. Moreover, if we do not succeed? As Edison said: We did find thousand ways how not to do it. Beside, we did a lot of science, didn’t we? |
