| Personal background |
|---|
I first became interested in space in the mid 50s, when a
friend showed me a comet in a small reflector. I am old
enough to distinctly remember the headline announcing
Sputnik (saw it when I picked up my morning papers to
deliver).
I am currrently living on a farm in Saskatchewan, Canada.
I am a member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada,
and very interested in the possibility of finding evidence
of extra-terrestrial life.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
SETI@home is one of the all-time niftiest things I have
ever seen.
Yes, I think extra-terrestrial life exists, and I think
we will discover it as the result of something like
SETI@home.
Benefits and dangers? I don't think we will be in direct
physical contact with an beings from outside our solar
system any time within the next few millennia, if ever.
As Dougls Adams once said "Space is REALLY, REALLY big!"
We should send a beacon. A mathematical series would be
a good start.
I run SETI@home because I think that it is the way we will
discover life outside our solar system, and the more
computers on the job, the quicker it will happen.
