Seti@Home is the search for identi-data and signals from lifeforms big an small.
The study of astronomy is the search for life, and study of anthropology is the study of the lifeforms' evolution and biology, its ways of living in the their culture. The suggestion I have is what are OUR plans for the discovery of intelligent life? Are we going to build that erst while vessel to go there and start the invasion from Europe all over again? Or is it better to become technological/Biological gods and stitch the planet and solar system together so the wonderful planet known as Earth will survive.
