I am a 38yo male fasinated by anything to do with space. I was actually a SETI@home member about 5 years ago, but my computer I had then was slow and I was connected using dial-up. (ugh) I now have a super fast server and I am on cable connection, so I decided to rejoin. The faster data can be processed, the faster data can be transfered.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Personally, I believe that we have already been visited by cosmic neighbors in the past and am 100% sure we will be again in the near future, in our generation. I also believe those visitors are much closer to us than anyone has thought of. There is too much space out there to not have other lifeforms. It make take years for a signal to reach other worlds, but signals have been released from earth for many, many years. So it doesnt take a genious to put 2 and 2 together. I constantly scan the skies with my telescope looking for a hint. As I said before, we have been and will be again visited!
When, yes, thats right, when we discover life on other planets, I think we shouldnt rush into anything drastic to begin with. We wouldnt know what kind of inhabitants our neighbors would be like. Friendly or not! And we shouldnt present ourselves as dangerous. Tke precautions, but behave in a civilized manor.
Transmitting a beacon of any kind is definatly worth wild. As to what kind to transmit, is beyond me. But, it should be of simple nature. Tones of sorts or perhaps pictures with coordinates in relation to our earth in our solar system.
SETI@home is a good program that doesnt cost anyting for the user. However, it is powerful and with more and more people using it, the chances of a contact increases. Im wainting to see what the project has to offer in the comming years. |
