| Personal background |
|---|
I´m born in late 1976, being a space nut since I can think.
It began with my fascination for aeroplanes, probably caused by my father´s travel agency.
With my occupation in school, my madness for anything related to space left me for a while.
I was born in Cologne/Germany, now living in Frankfurt due to my job. I am a freelance lightdesigner and project manager
for events, concerts, fairs, theater etc.
I´m one of those few lucky people, whose hobby is their job. I cannot think of a life without
lightingand stage. I like working under stress conditions - as I usually do.
The most fascinating point in my job is to see a project growing - beginning with a rough idea for
a lightdesign, drawing plans, making sketches, renderings, booking equipment and personnel, setting up all the equipment in short time
(usually 3 trailers in one day) and then, after the "hard work" done - seeing a great show, everething working - this gives sort of
satisfaction to me.
By the time, my interest in space came back, I regularily wtched TV documentation, read books & magazines and searched the web for everything related to space.
I was just surfing the web and came to the SETI-page by chance. I immediately joined the project :)

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
IMHO SETI@home is a great project. It is so efficient, so simple.
I really do think, there´s intelligent life out there in space.
But: why should they try to contact us?
Would they want to be discovered? I don´t like the feeling to be discovered (by them).
I just think of the "discovered" civilisations on our planet, Indians, Aboriginals, Maya - was it good for them to be discovered by the european civilisation?
In fact is was not. They were supressed, had no rights - I don´t want to be treated like that by other civilisations, nor other intelligent life would want to.
I think, the highest aim is to find out whether we are alone in universe or not.
Getting in contact with our "neighbours" - no thanks. Not in these times. Let´s talk about that in some thousand years again, when our planet and mankind has changed
enough to be prepared for confrontation with issues like these.
