| Useless at school, left at 16 to become a Auto mechanic. I managed that for about 18 months before getting an offer to train as an 'Air Conditioning Engineer'... Still not for me I then stumbled across IT. 13 years later and I am a partner in a successful IT solutions company and loving it http://www.blue-sock.com . SETI is the best use of CPU time I've found since 'Quake'... not quite as much as fun.... but far more productive. |

Yes I think Extraterrestrial life exists and we'll find it when they want us to! I would imagine that intelligent life out there is waiting for us to grow up a bit.... you know past the hitting each other with sticks and rocks stage.
What could we currently offer visitors from far away??? Wisdom, Technology,
Fashion advice (if Star Trek is anything to go by then I might end up eating my words on that one)??? All we would do is threaten them with sticks and rocks. We have enough trouble getting along with someone in a different country / Religion let alone a different planet. Let's just hope that any visitors that might arrive don't take the George W Bush approach to sorting out other peoples problems for them... (Kaaaboooom!)
But that isn't to say that we shouldn't have a poke around the sky and see what we might find.
SETI is great project to able to participate in. But knowing my luck we'll probably find the Borg or some other nasty race with a leather/rubber/pipes fetish and a strong desire to cut bits of us and replace them with what appear to be kithchen utensils... as some once said "It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world" and I can't see space being any less of a mad place to hang out.. Best of luck with the project... and Thanks for the opportunity to contribute.
