I am from and still live in Atlanta, Ga. I recently moved back to the neighborhood I grew up in. My daughter will be going to my old high school. Cool! I am a mechanical design engineer. I like cars with muscle. My first car was a 70 Dodge that ended up with a 340 6 pack, pistol grip Hemi 4spd, and 3:91 limited slip gears. 2nd car was a 79 302 Capri (dog). 3rd was a 85 Mustang GT (good car). 95 Z28 for 4 years. Current is a 2002 Z51 Corvette. Yea babby! And there were a couple of VF750F Interceptor motorcycles in there. One was a R model. I used to do RC planes. Haven't done much lately because of the expense. I have been building my computers for 30 years.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Only human arrogance would say that earth has the only life forms in the galaxy. Of coarse there is other life out there.
We have already transmitted a message to other worlds. Many years ago.
Receiving a signal from another world would force our world to change their attitudes towards others and maybe help unify the people of Earth.
