I currently live in portage Mi. Work in the Aviation Industry. I spend a bit of time with my 2 sons looking into the night sky. Mainly star gazing, but who knows. We are very big Star Trek fans usually every day.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I have no doubt that there is other life out there some where. the problem is getting out there to find it. If we do find life out there we would hope that it does not act like the people on this world, Kill what they do not understand. Not everyone is like that but enough are. I dont think it will happen in my life time but I think that one of my sons might have a good chance to see the first contact.
