Profile: Mario Aguilar Martínez (Toluca, México)

Personal background
My name is Mario Aguilar Martínez. I live in Toluca, México, close to México City. I'm 41 years old. I work in a factory as a supervisor.

As yuo can see, I´m not very good writing in English. I like Astronomy, all sciences, chess and sports. I studied electromechanical engineering, but I have learned a little of Astronomy by my own, and I´m interested in ETI.

Nevertheless, I like to talk about any subject that affects the human kind.

In Mexico, computers and electric energy are expensive. So it is difficult to dedicate money and time for SETI, wich is not a near necessity. But mexicans are very enthusiastic and here we are contributing with all the world in this noble task.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
In 1999, I watched a program in the Discovery Channel about SETI. The SETI@home
project was mentioned. Since that day, I wanted to buy a computer and to contract an Internet service (honestly, I needed those things for other jobs too). I got it one year later.

I decided to run SETI@home because this is a very important job for the development of science and humanity. Besides, more of the computers remain turned on many hours doing nothing; it is just that this expensive machines work and consume so much energy in a useful task. Moreover, graphics of SETI@home look prety and impressive in my screen!

SETI@home project is worthwhile because extraterrestrial civilizations are the future of human kind, our own future.

Those civililizations are out there, very far away, but they are there. It is inevitable to discover them or to be discovered by them. The problem is when. We have to work in this job although the Universe is a tremendously large place.

Dangers are huge, we can finish being food for E.T., cattle in an galactic ranch or simple slaves. In the other hand, the posible benefits are huge too: among many others, we can learn how to avoid the aparrently inevitable extinction of our species! That´s why we most to be valiant for listen the stars and transmit our “hello, hello...!”.
