Yea definitly a good read, thanks
I'd be 90-91 & almost certainly dead by then! (well unless my Diabetes is cured in the meantime, then I
might be about I suppose!), but my son would be 66-67 so maybe he'd remember me running SETI since he was ~6yrs old
.
But yea, it takes as long as it takes & so be it, I'll still run it whilst I'm alive & I hope my account runs long after I'm gone, if we haven't found ET by then
.
When I 1st ran SETI I replied to their little questionaire on my expectations etc, I guessed we'd find ET in 10-20yrs, only 9yrs left to go before I'm wrong!
I particularly liked this:-
A series of ever larger space telescopes have assembled a catalog of dozens of inhabited planets lying within several hundred light-years of Earth. The closest worlds are imaged by an immense constellation of interlinked free-flying optical mirrors that form a “structureless space telescope.” Three-dimensional holographic projection posters in elementary school classrooms show these worlds rotating as virtual globes with clouds, seas and continents.
That would be cool!
