| Personal background |
|---|
| I am an independent producer of DVD-Video, DVD-ROM and WebDVD titles. I have produced a number of DVD titles that focus on space including Earthlight, Mars: The Red Planet, StarGaze, and most recently the Planet Earth series which should be completed in 2003. I live, and work, in Gambrills, Maryland and my wife and I have three wonderful daughters who keep us both very busy. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I think that extraterrestrial life must exist. It seems unlikely that life has only come about on Earth, with the billions of other stars out there. We probably won't discover other forms of life until we leave Earth to explore the rest of our solar system and beyond. I think there is a good chance we will find other forms of life within our own solar system, although I doubt that it will be intelligent.
We should continue to search for extraterrestrial signals, but I am not sure we should transmit a beacon. If we discover signals from ET, then we can decide if establishing communications with them makes sense. In the short term I think we should just keep our eyes and ears open and see what we can learn.
I run SETI@home on about ten different computers that I use to develop DVD titles. These systems are all networked together, and I have a dedicated T1 connection to the Internet, so it is relative easy to have them running SETI@home all the time. Being part of a massive distributed computing experiment like SETI@home is great. If I can help find a signal from beyond Earth, that would be even better.
