| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
With 250 billion stars in the Milky way galaxy and more than 250 billion known galaxys in the Universe, how are we alone ? i know that 95% of the people reading this have heard of the drake equation, so i will stop. The problem is that with no government funding, SETI does not have an an array that can detect omnidirectional transmissions from a few thousand light years away. We have the technology to to build an array of at least 2.5 au ( 232 million miles ) in diameter, and it wouldn't be nearly as hard to do as a lunar landing was when JFK accounced that we would do so in 1962. this would give us about 1,100,000,000 times the signal collection area. i am confident that mankind will discover extraterrestial life with the next 150 years, depending on the government of the United States to make it happen within the next 50 years. The benifits of discovering ET would be enormous, it would unite the earth in a way never seen before.
Humans should not transmit signals at this time, yes i agree that most would be friendly , but i do not wish for the Borg to show up nex year.
I run SETI because i want to find Extraterrestial life, even if it is on our front porch. i believe that SETI has done very well for it's budget. |
