I am from California. I work as a Senior Microwave Communications Technician for a major Government Defense Contractor. I spend most of my free time tinkering with my computers and seeing how far I can push myself and my equipment.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
With the billions of stars and galaxies, it would be very foolish to say that we are the only sentient life that exists. I feel that any life forms that would reach out to other life forms on other planets would have to be friendly and offer to share their technology to improve our existence. We should actively seek other life forms by transmitting an omni beacon welcoming all life forms. I run SETI@home on my home network because I believe that we are not alone and know that someday we will find other intelligent lifeform in our universe. If my computers help to speed contact, then I am willing to offer my unused processor time.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
