| Personal background |
|---|
| My name is Joseph D. Aubuchon and I live in Humble, Texas northeast of Houston. I am a 34 year old Process Engineer with two beautiful daughters. My hobbies include movie watching, fantasy football, scuba diving (though I don't dive nearly often enough anymore), and searching for extraterrestrial intelligence. I grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, and St. Louis, Missouri, and graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. I am also a HUGE Kansas City Chiefs fan! |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

| I have always been a science fiction buff; I love Star Trek, Star Wars, etc., and the advanced technologies and civilizations they portray. And being a pessimist (in this case I call it reverse pessimism), I find it hard to believe that there is NOT life somewhere else in the uninverse. With an estimated 200+ billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, and an estimated 200+ billion galaxies in our visible universe (~70x10^21 (70 sextillion) stars in the visible universe according to Simon Driver of the Australian National University Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics in 2003), I think the odds of there being life in more than one place are pretty good ;) Honestly, I think that there is probably an infinite number of star/star systems and therefore an infinite number of life sustaining and/or containing planets within those systems. However, the pessimist in me says the odds of us ever finding life elsewhere is near zero...but one can always hope. |
