I am a 25 year old Jamaican male with an interest in astronomy. I am a computer system administrator and I also do some sales and marketing for my company.
I am also a private pilot with an ambition of becoming a professional pilot one day, time and money permitting.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I do believe that there is intelligent life beyond our planet. The universe is simply too large for me to believe that God only created us. I think there are others out there who may be looking for others just as we are or they may not want us to know about them.
The most likely way we will discover 'others' is to listen in on their radio 'conversations' given our current level of technology.
That is until we get over that pesky special Theory of Relativity of course! Then we can go find them!
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
