| Personal background |
|---|
I'm 29 years old (I was born 3rd of April 1974) Finnish man with a passion for everything to do with astronomy and space in general. I think I got hooked on astronomy when my father showed me Halley's comet on his telescope back in 1986. I'm especially interested in the history of spaceflight.
I try to look at the stars whenever it is possible. The thought that there might be some other lifeforms possibly looking back and having similar thoughs about life out there has always fashinated me. Looking at the stars at night I also feel like I'm looking back in time, as the light of the stars I see is in most cases millions of years old and most of the stars the light eminated from have long been gone now. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

1. Yes I definately do. The thought of mankind being the only sentient lifeforms in the vast universe is quite impossible, since there are countless of worlds and planets out there that might have given birth to life. Humans will discover extraterrestial life sometime in the future.. when it will happen remains a mystery, and who know if we already have been contacted and haven't even known about it. There are countless benefits that can possibly be gained from a first contact situation, and just as many threats.
2. Yes, we should reach out into the universe and make ourselfs known. We should send some basic information about human race and different cultures of mankind.
3. I run SETI@home, because I believe that there is life out there waiting to be found. I think SETI@home is a great way to enable people to participate in their own humble way into a project that -if successful- will change mankind forever. |
