| I think it is indeed possible that extraterrestrial life really does exist. I think that this project will pay off for mankind and our near future, because the discovery of other intelligent life forms could be mutually beneficial to us all. We could share technolgies, share morals, and share the principles of a possibly more advanced culture. So, the main reason why I, and many people like me, are helping out with the Seti Project is because the discovery of other life forms from different planets could prove to be very benefecial, and strengthen our community as a whole.
Humans I think should try and transmit a beacon for others to find, because who knows, it could be the best thing that mankind has ever done. I would suggest that humans should send things that indicate your culture, our life, and our sense of being. Things that resemble our culture, and what we look like. This way, if the beacon is found by ETs, they would have an understanding of what humans are all about before they come in contact with us.
I run SETI@home because it is the good thing to do. I think the people who started may be among some of the smartest people on the world, because they can see the benefit of sharing ideas with others, which is a thing that even many world leaders cannot.
