Personal background
Im a student in 8th grade. I play football and hockey, and i am very interested in astronomy. I got this program for that reason. I am atheist, but i am a moral and ethical person (unlike what some might think, atheists tend to be nice people) I made a team for my school, but all are welcome to join. It is called the Somers[/url] team. I used to belong to The Planetary Society Team, but i made this team because my school needed a team. Though i am not a memeber, i want to become a memeber of the Planetary society.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think that SETI is a worthwhile project because i believe strongly that we are not alone. However, i think that we should limit the search to our own galaxy for right now, because even if we found life in the Andromeda or Pegasus galaxies, it would take to long to make further contact and the race that we found could be extinct by the time we get the signal. I also think the government should fund it. I think that humans should send a high powered radio message at many frequencies (including visible spectrum frequencies, infrared, ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma frequencies, with the latter two done in space far away to avoid the radiation) with information on where we are in the galaxy and on our languages (but the information translated into a mathematical code so they can understand us), and also asking a response. Furthermore, i believe the government should support porjects to make intersteller/intergalactict travel a reality, and to work and new (preferably instant) communication devices as to be able to colonize other planets/moons while staying in sufficient contact. In addition, i think that users should try to get their schools/offices to join the project.
