Interview With a SETI Astronomer

Posted by Hemos on from the the-craft-behind-the-scenes dept.

Siduri writes "We at Pigdog Journal conducted an interview with SETI astronomer Seth Shostak, and I think it's pretty interesting. He talks about the technical details behind what SETI and SETI@home do (the two programs are very different), and he speculates about the nature of alien intelligence. He's also quite funny."

    Yep - he's right about that; they definitely not looking at our "first post" transmittion frequency.

    Lotsa love,
