| Personal background |
|---|
I grew up in Connecticut but have lived in San Diego, CA since graduating college 11 years ago. I am married to a wonderful woman, Martha and we have a three year old son, named Ben.
I am Director of Technical Services for a 20 person software company that builds document imaging systems. Being in the software development industry, I am as curious about the software created and used by SETI and SETI@HOME as I am in the "search" itself.
Right now my life pretty much revolves around work and family.

Assuming that the basic "facts" that are commonly accepted about the nature of our galaxy and the universe are in fact accurate, then I assume there is a 100% chance that life exists elsewhere too. However, given our CURRENT technology and the vastness of the realm to be searched, it seems like the odds of making contact is nearly 0%.
Of course, if we assume that SETI technology will follow Moore's law (that computing power doubles every 18 months), then it will take about 30 years for SETI to obtain tools/technologies that are a million times more powerful than today.
Although it will require patience, I am hopeful that some sort of meaningful "contact" will be made in my lifetime. |
