I am 21 Mars years old. To determine how old you are a good place to visit is http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/age/ I don't live on Mars yet but maybe someday soon humanity will place a footprint there too as well as many other places in this Solar System and then the universe. I very much enjoy viewing and photographing the heavens with a telescope. Ham radio allows me to communicate with others on and circling our planet and then maybe even the universe. I also like photography. I use a digital camera to document life around me. Computers aid my research of the heavens running SETI@HOME and maybe someday locate another civilization like ours somewhere in the universe. I like to create music with guitar and flute. I prefer the flute as it sounds heavenly.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
There has got to be other extra terrestrial civilizations beyond our planet. Everytime I look up at our universe from a dark sky with my telescope I see the immensity of our Galaxy and its' arms drifting above us in a dark sky. The number of stars is increadible. Then I look at other Galaxies in the telescope like the great Andromeda Galaxy and see its spiral arms. Only then do I comprehend the increadible size of our universe. Looking up the distance from our galaxy to the Andromeda Galaxy it is 2.2 Million Light Years away. Then I find there are still at least a million of Galaxies in our Universe. Then I am sure, there must be at least one out there, maybe more. Whether we find them I don't know but at least I know I'm apart and a player of the most increadible project to find out. I also get to use one of the biggest radio antennas in the world too. What could be more exciting than that?
