I'm from Lompoc, California living next to North America's Spaceport, Vandenberg AFB. I'm 37 years of age serving our nation in the United States Air Force. Our unique geography along the Central Coast of California allows us to insert satellites into polar orbit. Vandenberg launches an assortment of vehicles, our biggest rocket is a Titan IV followed by Atlas IIe, Delta II, and Titan II. We also track all those high-flyin gizmos travelling at speeds of 10,000 mph or more. NASA also launches an assortment of gee-whiz ma' look at dat machine fly from Vandenberg. I'm fascinated with our global space program. As I believe, our next seminal human adventure lays within our solar system, go Mars!
My hobbies include and are not limited to searching for extraterrestrial intelligence. I'm a naked-eye astronomer, favorite constellation is Orion, best moon is a mystic moon, favorite planet is Earth, and I hope my computer discovers "THE SIGNAL". I'm an amateur radio operator, enjoy the Art of Morse Code, since 1979. I dig surfing along the Central Coast since 1995. I'm a rabid sci-fi buff, my hero is George Lucas, Stanley Kubrick for 2001, and Sir Run Run Shaw for producing Blade Runner. I read philosophy, poetry, fiction and non-fictional books. I write poetry and stories. I listen to music ranging from ambient techno to classical.
I'm graduating from Chapman University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. I'm a member of the American Psychological Association. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I firmly believe our universe houses other forms of life. Sheer magnitude and statiscal opportunity weighs in favor of such life. If not, our species has an obligation and responsibility to move forward into our universe. Or, we must learn to accept our role as a species within a universal community of civilizations.
We are approaching or have achieved technological means to detect life wishing to communicate. Communication is a universal principle. Three components of communication; sender, message, receiver. Life seeks to communicate, such as our species, their signals are traveling off their homeworld just like ours.
We will discover "THE SIGNAL" through rigorous scientific application. I hope those searching are open-minded to thinking out of the box as well as following conventional wisdom. We must face with courage the challanges of discovery. We must not turn-off the signal for fear.
I run SETI@home because of the monumental importance of this project. I feel honored to share my computer resources with such an historic endeavor. To, what happens, if my computer discovers "THE SIGNAL" from one work unit? Wow, what a rush! I applaud those scientist who bucked group-think for their courage that life just may exist in our majestic universe. |
