| Personal background |
|---|
My name is Roy, I am married and have a teenage son and a wee dug (small dog for the benefit of the non-Scots out there), and I live in the west of Scotland.
I used to play music for a living, then I picked up a psychology degree, and now I work for a health charity, trying to help improve the lives of people with long-term health conditions. I don't make a lot of money, but I love my job. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I run seti@home because the stats suggest that there is life out there somewhere. Maybe it can't physically reach us, maybe seti@home will never find it, but that's no reason not to try and say hello to your neighbours.
It is a real shame that seti@home is not fully funded. There are so many places we have not explored properly: the depths of the ocean; the solar system; and deep space. These are aspirations, and it is good to have aspirations. When JFK announced that before the end of the 1960s they would put a man on the moon, that was a noble aspiration. We need more national or international aspirations like that.
My suggestions are to keep the faith (belief in the absence of evidence), and keep looking. This is something that ordinary people can do without governments or bureaucracies. |
