Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Do you think extraterrestrial life exists? If so, when and how will humans discover it? What are the possible benefits and dangers of such a discovery?

yes, I think something exists outthere. if it exists on this planet, why not somewhere else? when and how humans will discover other lifeforms I cannot and dare not say. benefits may include sharing knowledge and trade. dangers can include possible new enemies and wars.

2. Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find? If so, what information should we send?

yes, we should send some kind of beacon. what information to send it hard, since we know not to whom we are sending something and how advanced this other lifeform is in terms of technology.

3. Why do you run SETI@home? What are your views about the project? Any suggestions?

I run seti@home to be a small piece in the bigger cause of finding something outthere. to help, do just that small bit that might help in finding something, someone outthere.
