Personal background
Hi, My name is tim. I'm 46. Until 1997 i was a GMC mechanic but Amateur Radio
has changed all that. Becoming a Ham opened many new doors for me. It created
a tremendous interest in computers, space and many modes of communications.
Today i run a small pc business, Track the shuttle missions, ISS and Hubble by
PC and do some star gazing. Future goals are to get my son's school talking to
mission crew via ham radio.
My dad who started for Lockheed(Sunnyvale,Ca)in 1955 went into NASA contracts
when Appolo, Gemini and Shuttle programs were new. He helped to build the Lunar Lander and designed and helped build things like Shuttle cockpit control panels
and research modules for the animals. I'm proud to be part of SETI and using seti@home..........Thanks.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Yes they do. Humans will discover it when they decide to say "Hi". Believing
in god i think they might be able to teach us how to not destroy ourselves and as for dangers i believe they have already been here and they didn't shoot at our planet then.
2. Yes we should send something. It is very likely that someone someday will hear us. As something was said in the "Movie" about god not wasting all this space just to only inhabit one planet. Our message should be of great detail about ourselves as a world and not mention that a very small portion of humans here are of not so good nature.
3. I run SETI@home because i am a volunteer. I love to help as i do in my community as a FF and EMT. I feel proud to be part of the program and as the
gov't feels it is of not such great importance i disagree. The program is
important. As in ham radio if you don't transmit you'll never talk to anyone.
