My Mom did "keypunch" data entry for calculations and progams for several Mercury Geminii Apollo era Space Missions, when writing to memory meant magnetizing metal rings strung on a wire array.
I'm a computer operations specialist that grew up in the Space Age with the evolution of integrated circuits and then Microprocessor technology.
If there is anything to predisposition via natal learning, (or maybe being influenced later by Mr. Spocks logic, and a great Sci-Fi TV, Movie, and Video Game input) then there's a heavy chance that's why this project holds a bit of special interest for me.
I've been relatively 'off line' for a while, finally gaining enough skill and confidence in the combination of Antivirus and Firewall operation to put my Home processor array back on autodial.
!! It's not paranoia !!
Our business, a Hospital, like many others, has been affected by the misuse of Cyberpower in the last few years, protect yourselves out there!

"One day, maybe next week, I'm gonna find you ..."
A beacon? From here? Pointed where? When will the signal be where? any Borg or Shadows following shortly behind?
Seriously Yes, an outbound beacon Will help Others to locate us, and our autopilots to find our way home too, this is arguably practical, even though we do emit quite a few relatively low power signals already.
Whether we should? Only if it's Powered by Sol and his brothers and has no harmful emissions.
I think of Lt. Uhura monitoring subspace transmissions, and Cdr. Data scanning for life forms.
Whether or not we locate extraterrestrial life (before they locate us)/(haven't they already?), this project is honing skills and accomplishing developments that let us and future generations see through space in directions and on frequencies where no man has gone before.
While our sensor array is not as mobile as one attached to a starship it is helping us put into practice the groundwork for things to come.
... "hypothetical satellites" ... (Read the 3.03 SETI@home help text)
This Is Way Cool Dudes.
Possibilities out of %infinity%
Locating the ruins of a civilization
(hopefully not via an Ellen Ripley stay clear beacon!)
or the progenitor(s)
(recursive thought loop, the true origin of dna, big bang evaluation, unified field theory and quantum mechanics ideas bubble about)
But until we have mastered a few things like viable space folding, gravity fields, and molecular or subatomic manufacture (could deal with some medical issues too) there are many subjects to consider for study while otherwise awaiting overt contact and hoping for a beneficial technology transfer.
Oh, sorry, forgot to mention, and it's one of the very important things to come back to, other than realizing I wish I had Albert's affinity for application of mathematica:
Thank you all, it's an honor helping out, even if just a bit, with the best super computing application in existence! (On this Planet, for now, at least!)
