Comment SETI@Home is inspiring (Score 1) 235
And insisting in doing SETI is inhuman. I mean, enough of the people in *our* planet are starving; yet all these self-described geeks would rather find out if there's life in another planet than see if there's still life in Somalia.
People are starving. Great. People have always been starving. The US and other nations have tried many times to help third world countries only to be thwarted by third world dictators and corrupt governments not delivering the aide to "their" people. SETI@Home has nothing to do with starving kids with big brown eyes on infomercials.
SETI@Home is a wonderful project. Will they ever find e.t. life? Who knows. Will they solve all the worlds problems? Nope. But is it an incredible idea and an intriguing adventure? Absolutely. So what if they never ever find anything? My computer wasn't doing anything at the time anyways so the extra processor cycles may as well be used in this great experiment. SETI@Home is bringing together thousands and thousands of people in a new and unique way and together all of them are working towards a common goal. Their project is an inspiration to those who think that their dreams are unreasonable or their goals are too big and unrealistic. If the people who say SETI@Home is a waste controlled the world there would be no international space station, no trip to the moon, no freedom, the world would be flat, and the earth would still be the center of the universe. People are telling SETI@Home that they can't/won't because they're afraid that they might.
