I'm one of the older ones, 64 but have been interested in "science fiction" for many years. It never ceases to amaze me that this years fiction is next years fact; and the following years old hat. Great to be a part of this project.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
In the words of a movie ( I forget the name) If we're alone out here it's a hell of a waste of space! We are not alone, and the sooner we can prove it the better it'll be. Transmission of a beacon may be effective but I sense that we need to develop other forms of communication. I think we need to think beyond the " Electro-magnetic spectrum".
3) I live in hopes!
