Personal background
I've been an amatuer astronomer for many years, I did alot of camping & navigation by the stars while a member of the Scout Association. After a few more years on the road, I eventually settled down, miss those experiences but everyone moves on.
Its been a long time since then and now I tend to do those sort of things virtually rather than in reality, and make sure there's plenty of power in my system to cope with that.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
There is too much likelihood of similar conditions out there 'somewhere' for Earth to be the only life bearing planet, & even if its not a lifeform we'd be initially familiar with, its out there.
We probably run many more & bigger beacons than is thought about already. The first transmissions to be found, by us or them, are likely to be leaked signals like radio or television broadcasts.
I run SETI@home so that the $$$ invested in this computer don't go to waste for most of the day, & you never know, I might help find the evidence to prove that other civilisations are active on other planets.
