Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Q:Do you think extraterrestrial life exists?___

A:Sure, God and Angels would count too, no?___


Q:If so, when and how will humans discover it?___

A:We've probably done so already, we just don't realize it yet.___


Q:What are the possible benefits and dangers of such a discovery?___

A:Benefit, "The Final Frontier". Danger, "Resistance is Futile". 'Nuff said ?___


Q:Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find? If so, what information should we send?___

A:We have been for almost 70 years, it's called Radio and Television. And it's probably the big reason no E.T. has visited yet considering some of the programs broadcast.___


Q:Why do you run SETI@home?___

A:It's a great mathematical benchmark for a CPU. And I'm trying to compete with my brother too.___

Running BOINC for SETI ,Einstein ,and ClimatePrediction.

Q:What are your views about the project?___

A:Right On! (Now this dates me.)___
