| Personal background |
|---|
| I am 48 and from Jacksonville, Florida. My father was in the US Navy and we lived in several different parts of the US as I grew up. I attend school in Jacksonville and Key West, Florida and in San Diego, California. When I was in the 11th grade in Jacksonville, I enlisted in the US Navy where I was able to travel to many foreign countries. I have learned a lot about other people and know that our world is really small. We all have the same needs and dreams. The only thing that seperates us is our language and culture. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

From the time I watched the first episode of the original Star Trek, it made me wonder if we are along. When I look up at the stars, I think about how far they go. How could this be that the sky just keeps going on to eternity without any other life form. What is out there. There must be other life. It is impossible for there not to be. Afte all, we are here. It takes a really small mind to believe that we are unique.
A benefit of discovery of ET would be in the human spirit, knowing that we are not alone. But the danger would be in the human spirit, knowing that we are not alone. Mankind is strange in that respect.
Discovery of ET would benefit science and technology the most. I know that for us to escape Earth's embrace, we need to expel a tremendous amount of energy. No one can argue that the thing which keeps us glued to the Earth is the magnetic field. If we could find a way to oppose that force, we would have a means of creating reverse polarity to leave Earth's magnetic field. ET would have found a way to do this. The US Government funds US-NASA with Billions of dollars to blast off this earth, with a method of "reverse or negative" gravity, much of that money could be used for better purposes. I don't know if medicine would benefit, but medical advances could become easier with an alternate means of taking experiments to zero gravity.
The biggest danger of contact would be the unknown. I really don't know why another being would have a desire to present hostilities to the occupants of our planet, but our fire power would be substantial, yet unconcequential to the science of ETs.
I think that it is beneficial for humans to transmit signals apart from the commercial broadcast, aviation and military communication which envelopes our Earth. We don't know if ET has not received signals from our existance, we could be observed now without even knowing about it. |
