| Personal background |
|---|
| An automotive technician by trade - but a scientist at heart. I have always had a keen interst in the space program - and all of the offshoots that it contains. My interest began with the Mercury program - and I can remember waking up to watch the first Moon landing live on TV. It made it rough to go to school the next day. (Why do they always do these things in the middle of the night?)I've also spent long nights in the cold watching Haley's comet (looked like a ball of cotton to me), and waiting to see the launch of the Virgin Eathwinds around-the-world balloon from the Goodyear Airdock here in Akron Ohio. (They abandoned the launch due to high winds) I'm 49(AND HOLDING) years old - and I'm never going to grow up! Life is too short - learn to enjoy it. Married for 26 years, we've enjoyed exploring the East coast on a motorcycle, camping, and just generally enjoying each other's company. I'm working on a homepage (because everyone has one) http://home.neo.lrun.com/asemaster and will try to keep it interesting. I'm just learning - so please be patient. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| Just go outside on a clear night and look up at the sky. All of those stars - and all of that space - how could we be conceited enough to think that we are the only ones that exist? I think that Carl Sagan said it best in his series Cosmos. Right now, ET must be hiding and watching us. We can't even get along with each other - how will we react if we find out that we aren't the only ones? WE are the only dangers as far as I can see. As far as a beacon - we've already been broadcasting to the stars with radio and television. Just watch the 6:00 news and see what we are sending. I've been running SETI@Home because of curiosity in the project and just wanting to help discover life on other worlds. |
