Profile: Brian

Personal background
My name is Brian, and I'm from St. Louis, Missouri. I love the great outdoors, hunting, fishing, camping, and so forth. Working with computers is a long-time hobby of mine. After recently discovering distributed-computing projects, I have had them running on my computers. I'm currently a student in high school, and looking forward to a college career and military service.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I honestly don't have an opinion on whether life exists on other planets. It may exist in planets very far away from here, maybe even galaxies, but by the time technology advances enough to explore these far away objects, human life won't exist anymore. Who knows what the dangers could be in finding another civilization? The benefits could be tremendous, as they may be thousands of years ahead of us in technology. And if they are and they decide they don't like us, then they could just simply end our civilization. If we transmit a beacon, I think it should be like the plate they put on the Voyager spacecraft. Signals that would contain data like sounds and pictures from earth. I run SETI@home not simply for finding E.T., but hoping to help out the scientists learn more about our galaxy.
