In my PCs spare time, computing Seti@Home units from 2000-2004 then 2007 onwards.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I find the idea of life on other planets interesting. I believe that if the universe is truly infinite, then there must be life on other planets, because there are infinite possibilities within this infinite universe.
However, infinity is a difficult concept to grasp, it seems strange to think that the universe is infinite, but if it isn't, then what's beyond the universe? That's something we can't answer yet fully.
Still, I am fairly certain that of the galaxies we know of, the billions upon billions of miles, there must be intelligent life somewhere in this.

I think we should transmit a beacon for other intelligent life to find. If it's out there, then why not make ourselves as big and bright as we can so they can find us.
If they are hostile, although if they are intelligent I'm not sure why they would bare hostility to us, then we can work around our differences. If they are friendly, then a whole new thing opens up for us.

If we discover Intelligent Life, I don't believe first contact should be a "Government" thing, as it would most likely affect every human on this planet. There should be representatives from all walks of life, from all nationalities present to welcome our eventual guests. Maybe we will have a world government by the time they come, if they come.

Why do I run SETI@home? Because I wanna know, and as far as I'm concerned, the quicker we find out the better. Curiosity is why we are born; exploration is our reason for being.
