Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yes, I do think that life exists elsewhere in the universe. How vain would it be to think that we had all this to ourselves!
If we are ever going to rise above the barbarism that plagues this world, we should be trying to find others just as quickly as we can. Hopefully, they will not see us as Cook saw the Aboriginals when he turned up in Australia.
I am aware of the seeming impossibility of traveling the distances involved to even the nearest star system, but then who could have forseen the bicycle back in the court of Henry VIII?
To this end, I run SETI@home. Of all the projects, this one holds the most promise of leaping us into a new era.
