Personal background
40 years old, Keen Tenpin Bowler, I have been into astronomy since I was 5 or 6.

"It is only a matter of time before the truth will out", then damn the critics.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Yes, ET life exists and SETI will show the doubting Thomas`s that you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

Benefits - Knowing that we are not the only creation of God, and that the reaction of many that believe we are the only "intelligent" beings in the galaxy.

Dangers - The military taking charge of any "First Contact".

2. Yes, a beacon should be built that is powerful enough to reach other systems within our lifetimes. Why not on the ISS ?

It should send peacful images of the Earth and it`s inhabitants.

3. Because I believe we must try to make contact with any possible civilisation that exists out there.

Encourage more schools to run the screensaver.
