Profile: Waddell

Personal background
First, I am returning to Seti@Home. I was here as WaddellatRiverside beginning in 2001 through 2005. I am glad I am back to help out.

I have worked (18 years) in the aerospace industry and another 20 years in health and human services. I am now a free-lance writer and independent researcher and run my organization, The Riverside Advocacy Center. I have fun with a blog that links astronomy and mythology to make understanding our celestial environment fun for all. See it at: http://asclepiuslive.squarespace.com
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Our exploration of both out solar system, galaxy and our universe (I believe there are more than one)is beginning to grow in both focus and competence. What we may learn through Seti@Home is going to be an important contribution to that overall exploration.

We sometimes overlook the extreme distances we are talking about when we explore our celestial environment. Most of the discoveries we will make will have occurred well before our time, and may no longer exist in real time. Regardless we must know all the answers. SETI and SETI@Home are an important part of that search. Eventual contact with other beings through SETI@Home could be an exception to the above in that regardless of the time lapse, we have found sentient life elsewhere in, most likely, our own galaxy. The real eye-opener will come when we do communicate and we learn things we never dreamed of as will our ET friends. This is the really exciting exchange that I know will come about some day.
