Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Do I think extraterrestrial life exists?

Since I was a child, I was always mystified by UFO's and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Given the vastness of deep space and countless stars with solar systems, there has to be not one but numerous planets with the right mix of ingredients to host life. I believe extraterrestrial life exists, but not as we know it.

2. Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find?

I am in support of broadcasting ourselves to the universe, however should we contact ET that is hostile, we do not have the means to defend our planet.

3. Why do you run SETI@home?

The concept of SETI@home is grand, so I put in my 2 cents worth to find candidate signals. I run it as often as I can.
