| Personal background |
|---|
My name is Dan De Lage, and I am 39 years of age. After high school I joined the Army, and served three years active duty and three years active reserve duty. After my tour of duty I attended the University of Montevallo where I studied history and sociology. After completing three years in college I decided I was wasting time and money in school, and decided to attend a trade school and start working. Study was now something I did for myself.
I am a sheet metal fabricator by trade, but that only puts bread and butter on the table. My true love is amateur astronomy. From the time I was a child I used to gaze at the heavens, and wonder about the possibility of life beyond this planet. It seemed impossible for me to imagine that we were alone. To this day I have maintained that same love of space. SETI@Home is only one more step in my personal journey of exploration and discovery. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. Absolutely I think humans will discover ET life. It would be arrogant of us to think that humans have some sole claim to life in this infinite universe. When and how will humans discover ET life. I have no idea. The imagination's the limit. Benefits of such discovery might include cures to diseases on Earth, and the introduction of new fatal ones. It might bring about new technology to help humans, or to enslave them. There are many possibilities. I'm at a loss to say more.
2. I don't know. I think I'd rather locate the ET life rather than have it find me. Maybe we could try and find out a little at a time. On our own time. We'd have to see.
3. I run SETI@Home to aid SETI in analyzing its data. It gives a sense of helping in what I consider a worthy cause.
