I am a lifelong observer of the night sky and a true believer that we are not alone in the universe. The odds are simply too great that life will have formed elsewhere and have achieved a level of technical proficiency to have put some form of electronic signal out into space. As someone who may not be able to move the world as an individual, it is my hope that my participation in this project might help lead to discoveries that would otherwise take that much longer to make.
