Personal background
Hello,


I am a 23 years old french. I'm a student, I learn Geology in France in order to study the surface of the other planets.

My main hobby is Astronomy. I like to see nebulae (M42 and M45 are my favorite), Cluster and planets (Saturne is really amazing!). I am vice-president of the "Société Astronomique de Touraine" ("Astronomical Society of Touraine", Touraine is a district in France.). It's an association of astronomer.
We have two big telescopes (a Newton and a Cassegrain).

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
SETI@home is a wonderful idea !

I think extraterrestrial life is possible. LIFE may exist in a part the Universe, outside our solar system or our galaxy. But, because of the distances, I don't believe Humans will be able to go accross our galaxy to see if there is extraterrestrial life somewhere.

In my opinion, the SETI program is our only hope.


-Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find?
why not?! But it will be like a bottle in a very large ocean ! But, if a beacon was send, some informations should be inside : =>what humans looks like
=>Our metric reference
=>What Earth look like
=>A description a our theory about Universe
=>A photography of myself (no, it's a joke ! :-) )


-Why do you run SETI@home?
I want to help the research. When I'm looking to my screen, I say:"Wahhoo, amazing ! This record comes from the end of the Galaxy !"


-What are your views about the project?
With this project, even a student like me can help scientists to answer a big question =>"ARE WE ALONE ?"

-Any suggestions?
An explanation of the calculations in the program.
