Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Answers to the 3 questions.

1: I think life could exist somewhere and I think Seti is the correct way of searching, as to the benifits, I could only speculate.

2: Yes I think we should set up a radio or Lasar beacon, I am sure that the best beacon would be via the use of a rotating lasar beacon in Earth orbit, however, failing this, I think Earth is a large beacon in itself.


3: I run 4 computers on a LAN and share there use with Seti as well as my own personal use and that is more processing power then one person can use; I am sure that seti can make use of the system.

As to my views about the project; I think this is a great idea to further the ends of Seti research and involve the public in assisting Seti.

However, I think that since the public is involved, they should be able to see something to show that there assistance is of value to Seti: IE: some type of graph displayed on the internet showing there work or something of that nature.

I think Seti should become more active in recruiting more people( computers ) into the system and try to educate people as to what Seti is and what they are trying to do.


Thank you
