| Im from Farmington, New Mexico and currently use Seti at home on my laptop. I am 27 years old and work as an Airline Pilot. My hobbies include skiing, flying and radio control flight. I found out about your program through a friend of mine in 99 and have been using it ever since. I think its a great idea, especially if the program (SETI) is in danger of being shut down due to funding. This is a great way to give people like me a chance to help at home and volunteer our computer power without needles paperwork or questioning. I truly believe we are not alone here and I consider anyone who does belive that pretty ignorant considering the vast size of space. Noone knows what is out there, but that is not an excuse to stop looking. Keep up the good work people. Great idea, hope to see more from you folks in the future. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Absolutly I believe there is life besides us out there. It will be discovered when we are technologically advanced enough to see it, or it just plain wants to be seen. Radio telescopes tend to be our best way of finding extraterrestrial life right now, in my opinion, simply because it has the most sound basis for looking-radio frequencies. Something is going to be heard eventually its just a matter of when!
I think we should transmit a beacon for others, we need to take a proactive approch to finding ET not a reactive approach. If there is a species more advanced then us, I think that it would be interesting to them to have a little backround on us; music, art, technology, life style, looks, language, government, and anything else that makes us up to be human. I truly believe this is not dangerous. We are trying to reach out to the univers but this does not mean a more advanced univers, and this is probably why we have not got a response as of yet, and further more why radio telescopes are our best bet to find life. If we are dealing with life that is on the same playing field as us, it most certainly wont be dangerous, and if they are more advanced-well, they obviously dont have an interest in harming us for they would have done so by now.
I run SETI@home to give to a great cause. I think it is beneficial on many levels to find life besides ours. SETI has a goal that cannot be seen or heard and takes much redicule because of it. This program allows us to help save what we believe in and support it with just the extra computer power from our home computers. What better idea could there have been than to use the computers of the world to help isolate sequences in radio frequencies. Let everyone do the work and take some of the cost burden off those who continue to fight for the cause. I run SETI@home constantly on a Pentium III 1 Ghz 340 MB ram. It runs a unit in about 12 hrs. I think you gyes are doing a great job and my hat is off to the team that founded this program. Thank you for letting us be a part |
