| Personal background |
|---|
I am a Junior in college, unsure what my major is going to be, but probably general engineering, surveying, or chemistry. I am currently employed at a local civil engineering firm surveying, using AutoCAD, inspecting jobs, and some office work.
I am a member of Team Phoenix Rising and Forums.amdmb.com, and my current computers that I have running SETI@home are:
Custom Built Computer
Biostar M7NCD-Pro Motherboard
AMD Athlon XP2500 Barton Core running at 11.5x205Mhz
512MB PC2700 DDRRAM
Western Digital 60GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
16X DVD
52x32x52x Lite-On CD-RW
nVidia GeForce3 Ti200 (220/485)
That's all for now.
Oh yeah, it's time for me to change that picture, so don't mind it. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I have no doubt that E.T. life exists. How could our one planet be the only planet in the entire universe that harbors life? We know of at least a hundred other planets around other stars, and we are just looking at an ice cube off the iceburg. I believe when we send spacecraft to search for life on other planets, such as our planned missions to Europa and Mars, we need to be very careful not to contaminate the world, and also if we bring back samples we need to make sure we don't get contaminated.
I think we need to start colonizing the Moon and Mars as soon as possible, preparing for when we find a habitable planet outside our solar system and find ways of traveling faster than light without breaking laws of physics (which is starting to become reality. some scienctist are coming up with designs for "warp engines").
I run SETI@home on my computers to give it something useful to do with all the spare CPU cycles it has, and also so I can say I contributed to science in some way. While what I do doesn't make much of a difference, combined everybody can make a huge amount of progress. |
