| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve taken for granted that we were not alone in the universe, that it was hubris to even think that we were alone, and that someday we would make contact with that other intelligent life. SETI is the first great leap in that discovery process.
Until a few years ago, I never thought I would have an opportunity to participate in humankind’s next great adventure. After all, my talents tend toward the sort of human sciences and crafts not currently useful in exploration. However, owning computers has given me this opportunity. To paraphrase a real explorer, “This is one great step for humankind, even if it is a small one for a single person.â€
