I am from Arkansas (born and raised in California). I am 48 y/o, Soon to be 49.
I drive a truck for a living. My hobbies are computers, I have three and will build a fourth most likely. I also like radio controled airplanes and Helio's.
I decided that since I am gone a lot for work that my computers should be used for more than chatting by my kids. I have been interested in SETI since I first heard about them. Love the movie Contact. I am a sci-fi fan.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I look up at the night sky and wonder, how can we be alone? It cannot be possible for only one planet to come alive.
Yes I think ET's are out there. Have we been visited? maybe. Do I think it is possible that we will be visited? YES. I think we should try and discover other life forms. I think we should let other life forms know we are here and are looking to make contact in our own small way.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
