I love space exploration and science. Because of my short lifespan, I will never live to see mankind on another planet orbiting another star. Therefore I indulge myself with computer games, which are a great help in such dreams of conquest. I enjoy various space exploration games like Master of Orion 2 or SMACX. Unfortunately Master of Orion 3 was a great disappointment and I really hope someone will soon now make a great new game. To give my excess CPU power to SETI is one great practical way to help humankind to a better understanding. I believe that WHEN we find someone out there, all of our fighting among ourselves must cease. A common outside threat can and will unite the world.

Should we transmit a signal to them? Too late for that question, we have been transmitting a lot of signals the last 60 years. I think this is one of the most important tasks the human race has undertaken. The earth is the cradle of mankind, and you should not stay in the cradle forever, you must eventually grow up and leave the cradle. SETI is one first logical step, to seek out our closest neighbouring civilizations, to probe for potential enemies or allies, before we spread our civilization to other stars. And according to Drakes formula, if we find them, then THEY are probably a lot smarter than us. I also believe that if the moon was inhabited by cute rabbits, we would go there and make food out of them, perhaps a far more advanced civilization thinks of us as rabbits that only pollute and waste resources here on earth, and the only logical action would to stop us...
PS Thanks for all the feedback! I never thought anyone would read this :-) DS
