Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yes I do beleive that ET life exists. In all that space you would think that we are not the only ones to occupy it and we will probably discover it by accident one day. Lots of benefits and dangers, the biggest danger I beleive would be cross contamination of bacteria.
You would think that with all the radio and television stations around the world that some of the information being transmitted is breaking out of the atmosphere and going on its merry way across the universe. Maybe ET's favourite programs are X Files and Simpsons and occassionally listens to a bit of Eminem!
I heard about this project years ago and have been searching for the site but could not find it, quite by accident I stumbled onto the Little White Dog site and the rest is history
