| Personal background |
|---|
I'm a Canadian. When I was a kid I thought that space belonged to the Russians and Americans because they had Cosmonauts and Astronauts. When I was a little older I realized that space belongs to all of us. I goggled up at the Milky Way in the middle of a frozen Edmonton winter. I was hypnotized by the Northern lights in the Yukon. Planet Earth is really spaceship Earth, and nobody rides for free. We really ARE all crew.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
SETI@home is a way to think and act outside of what is known and safe. In a super-sanitized TV world it's a way of tempting the universe. "Hey! We're here! Come and visit! We're watching for you." It's risky enough meeting new people. How about meeting sentient alien life?
Imagine how excited we'll be if we meet some Galactic neighbours? Will we see universal brotherhood? Armaggedon as the loonies blow a fuse and act out?
Introversion, extroversion, evolution? How will we react?
Arthur Clarke's "Childhood's End" comes to mind but I don't think it will be as linear as that, or as paranoid or entertaining as "The X Files". Whatever happens it will be a hell of a ride, assuming they're not here already.
Who knows, ARE there non-terrestrial intelligences here with us on the big blue marble? It's just not an answerable question right now. In the meantime, I'm maintaining hope and analysing signals for SETI. Kinda cool huh?
Cheers. -=V=- |
