| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
January 2001: In a NASA Ames laboratory, researchers stimulated icy materials, known to exist in interstellar gas and dust clouds, with radiation. The resulting chemical reactions created organic compounds which spontaneously formed membranes of the kind important to cellular life. Their conclusion? Any earth-like planet is seeded with the materials of life as soon as it is born (1).
We've known for awhile that we are stardust. Now we know that we may have siblings out there on other planets. It's time for a family reunion and I'm helping by manning phones. And yes ... I *do* think we should send that call ourselves.
