| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I think that there is a good chance that extraterrrstial life does not exist.
The SETI@home program is an excellent program. Years age when I was at MIT,I had an opportunity to visit the Arecibo site during their start up phase. It is an inpressive project. |
