Hi,
Student at UMD fall 2004. Aerospace engineering. Finishing up at Gonzaga (a high school) in DC. Acivities include Stage Crew (you build sets for plays and run set changes, stuff of that nature) that sounds boring but the other people especially the proctors make it insanely fun. |

I think it E.T.'s must exists, that being because if our relatively standard star ended up with life, possibly on 2 or more worlds (Earth, maybe Mars, maybe Europa, and maybe Ganymede) then iit seems to me that life is likely. I don't think we'll discover it outside our solar system for a long time unless it is advanced enough technoligically to find us.
I don't think we can justify sending our own signals, for a signal to go very far it needs to be very powerfull which we can't afford a complete coverage of all angels to any great distance, or very pinpointed to use less energy, but were do we aim it?
I think this project is great, but i don't think we'll pick up signals from a civilization at our own technological level, they probably wouldn't have the resources to send the signal.
Most important thing I think towards humanity finding alien life and sentience is FTL travel, and before anyone tells me, i know why it supposedly can't be done, it breaks rules... so why not try and find situations and conditions to circumvent the rules? |
