| Personal background |
|---|
| I'm 40 years old. I have a 9 year old son, who is starting to take an interest in astronomy. I've held 1st degree black belt in karate for quite a few years. I love walking in the Scottish Highlands... an added bonus is the lack of light pollution, so I take my telescope with me when I head for the hills. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Of course I believe there is life elsewhere... it's a big universe! I don't think that we'll discover intelligent life until we are able to overcome the problems associated with interstellar ditances. There might not be any way of travelling faster than light, but it's so SLOW!!!
There's no harm in looking though. ;-)
I think that there's a fair chance of discovering life in our solar system. Mars is still a good candidate, and there's the tantilising prospect of liquid water on Europa.
As for the question of whether we should transmit a beacon... I think we are already doing that. It's a shame that the first experience that ET intelligence will have of us is "I Love Lucy!"
