| Personal background |
|---|
| Degrees in Chemistry '67 (University of Toledo, Toledo, OH) and Computer Science '85(Youngstown State University). Have never wondered if "their out there", wonder if "they've been here" and regret that I haven't (and I'm sure I won't be able to) "been there". Even if it's only Mars. Belong to the Mars Society. Own "too many computers" (10 - including a non-functioning PC_1) Read a lot of science fiction. Tend to follow NASA's mission coverage on NASA-TV until the verbose, badly run PAO coverage gets to me. The missions cover themselves better without their intervention. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
With the size of the universe - there must be other intelligent beings. It would be waste of a universe if there wasn't. With our beacons (radio/tv programming and other E-M radiation) others would know we are here but might wonder if we are intelligent. (My former congressman was famous for wanting to be "beamed up" by Scotty.) We also radiate a lot of energy in the visible, IR and UV spectrum.
Joined SETI@home shortly after it started. The data collects faster than it can be processed. All those CPU cycles are not going unused now. |
