Personal background
I'm from Des Moines Iowa, I'm 27 years old and I'm going to school for criminal justice. My hobbies are amateur radio, science, astronomy, restoring classic cars, photography,antiques,camping, and other things. This year, over christmas, I am going to get to go to Peurto Rico and visit the Arecibo radio telescope for he first time.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yes, I think extra terrestrial life exists. Humans will discover it eventually if they haven't allready but the goverment likes to keep things like that a secret so the public may never know. Benifits will be that we will know that this isn't the only planet in the Galaxy that has live on it and we will learn about other societies. The dangers are going to be the people that freak out because they don't want to admit that there is other life out there. Humans should transmit a beacon so others might find us too. We should send pleaceful mesages but other life forms of course won't know what they mean so we should just send something that sounds like it is not natural so other life forms can atleast know that the signal they hear or see is made by something other than what is usuall for a siganl in outer space. We should run SETI so we can process as much information as possible at one time. I think this is a great project and I can't wait to visit Arecibo over christmas this year. It would be nice to be able to have full time audio while we are downloading information. It is cool to see, but I want to hear it too, even if it is just static. It would seem more realistic if there was audio. This probably wouldn't work since the info is allready recorded but it would be nice to be able to change frequencies on it too.
