SETI Founder Outlines Ambitious Future Plans
Lanxon writes "'In the universe there is intelligent life, I'm confident about that,' SETI founder Dr Frank Drake (of the Drake Equation) affirmed earlier today during a talk at the Royal Society in London, 50 years after SETI was founded. One of his visions to prove this, and to show that the last five decades were not a waste of time, is to station a radio observatory not in near-Earth orbit, but on the far side of the moon. He also suggests that another craft could later be stationed 500 times further away from the Sun than the Earth, using the Sun itself as a giant magnifying lens to resolve alien worlds."
Maybe they will feel that way about Africa. If my great-great-great grandpappy knew things would turn out this way, he'd have picked his own cotton. Nigger thug bullshit is the kudzu of culture. It spreads, it's invasive, it reproduces everyplace, and soon there is nothing left of whatever constructive culture was once there. Nothing left but a bunch of morons who can't speak English, who think that drugs and abuse of women is great, and think that living in a ghetto that's full of crime and misery is really cool.
