SETI is an interesting subject.

The movie "Contact" is a good example of what SETI is about. Some think that it is junk science. I feel that it has a role, albeit limited. Funding should be directed towards SETI again limited. SETI could turn out to be a rathole for money or be the best discovery in the history of mankind.

Great linky! I've always wondered what lurked in space ever since I took my first astronomy lecture. Though I wish I could just go on a spacecraft and see the universe with my own eyes...

I have found that astronomey is the finest of all the sciences. It combines the best of all. Within the next few decades we will be upon the GUTS. That is the "Grand Unified Theory of Science".

Personally I prefer radio astronomy as the is the key to detecting intelligent life.

Sadly not enough research is directed into this area. When it has been it is directed at detecting pulsars and new galaxies. I want it directed to SETI. Looking for little green men is not considered "real science" by some.
