|---|
| My name is David Lynch and I live in northern NJ. I'm 40 years old, and remember watching the moon shots as a child. Thinking to myself maybe the astronauts might meet the man in the moon, or martians and make friends and bring them home. LOL I took a job in the aerospace industry out of the remnants of that dream, and my love of flight and space. My hobbies include being in the great outdoors, and watching the sky on camping trips, reading speculative, and science fiction as well as trying to write some from time to time. |

1. Yes, we can't be the only ones in this vast ocean of space. As to how we'll finally meet it, my fantasy is for a ship to land on the lawn of the white house and one of the occupants to get out and start snapping pictures of all the funny humans. But seriously it'll probably be from a project similar to seti to stumble accross a signal, or a manned trip to one of the other planets to find micribes or such in a soil or rock sample. THe benefits would be proof we're not alone and perhaps more focus to things outside of killing each other. The dangers... Well not to sound like a B movie, unknown diseases, and social panic when religious beliefs are chalanged.
2. Man has been transmitting low power beacons to us since the advent of radio, but yes a high powered signal should be transmitted repeatedly and omnidirectionally on a frequency that can't be mistaken as background noise, or stellar burps or such. This is in addition to someone pulsing a signal directly at our closest stellar neighbors from a dish at regualr intervals. Needless to say I'm all for it and SETI. |
