Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Why do you run SETI@home?
I run SETI@home, at home, on my PC in my bedroom. Means that I can't run it at night, the fan is too loud, but I turn my PC on before I hit my alarm, normally.

I think that the SETI@home project is very important for a few reasons. Firstly, its shown the great amount of processing power than can be gathered up and applied to a single task.

Secondly, SETI@home is about looking for something, looking outwards. I think this is important to the human race. I think for the last few decades we've looked in and have forgotten all the great things we've achieved when an idea captures the attention of the public. I think SETI has captured many people's attention. And look what it has accomplished so far.

aThoughts about ETI
I strongly believe that somewhere out there, there's other life, hopefully intelligent. For me, I can't accept the possibility we are alone. There has to be someone else out there.

It's going to be finding them that's the hard part. Not only do we have vast distances between each star, but many people seem to forget time. I think it's quite possible that one race of ETs could become extinct before the other evolves.

Well, the only true danger I see in discovering an ET is if they are hostile. I don't think the possibility is big, and I always think of the phrase: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained"

And the primary benefit? It's not technology or science. Just the fact that we're not alone. That the human race isn't the only one going through this crazy thing called 'life'. I don't know about everyone else, but that would make me feel so much better.

I do believe we should be transmitting a signal, to every damn star we can see. We don't need to send anything profound, or important. Sometimes, youa
