Personal background
Hello from germany,
I´m a 28 years old student of computer science, living in Ahrensbök near Lübeck in northern germany.
Since I was a child I am fascinated by all aspects of scientific knowledge and technique, and I read a lot about such topics, i.e. the ISS, artificial intelligence, space flight, and - of course - SETI.
I think discovering new scientific facts and developing new technical acquirements are the most important tasks for mankind in this world, because this is the only way to improve the quality of life for whole mankind, and it is also the only chance for us to survive. A civilisation standing still on its level has no chance to develope itself, so we must improve our technical and scientific abilities in order to stay alive in this universe.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I´m sure that somewhere in space there are other civilisations, perhaps scanning their sky for signals like we do. I hope some day we will receive a signal from an intelligent source. Maybe the genius of human mind developes a way to travel to these beings. And if mankind has by this time learned to take care of other beings istead of destroying everything, this contact will be peaceful and will enrich humanity. From that point we will all be an important part of this universe.
I run SETI@home because I think of it as a great adventure I can take part in. For the first time in human history we have the technical possibility of exploring our universe, though this "adventure" has just begun. But it is such an exciting task that I have to take part in it. Even if I never ever detected a really interesting signal. It´s just the greatest and most exciting adventure of mankind, and supporting this is a "must be"...
