Hello Earthlings. My name is Dominar Rygel the XVI. I am the deposed ruler of the Hynerian Empire, which consists of over 650 billions life forms.
While on Earth I enjoy watching how you humans behave. It is quite fascinating. I also enjoy your televison and books.
While not as exciting as life on Hyneria, Earth has proven an enjoyable place to visit.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Of course ETs exist!! To assume otherwise is naive and selfish. My in all the greatness of the Universe should humans be the only life form?
When we make contact we are taking great chances. Will who we contact be hostile? More advanced then us? Ashamed by how we treat our planet and each other? Or will the be benevolent and bring us the cure for disease and teach us how to live on our plabet without destroying? Only time will tell and I believe it is worth the risk.
We transmit siganls everyday. I wouldn't be suprised if the ETs had seen every episode of I Love Lucy!
I run SETI@home because I believe (and I don't believe in a great many things). There is life out there and I hope we find it in my lifetime.
This project is great and I only wish that it was taken more seriously but others.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
