On a more fun note, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is 42 this year! The number, of course, correspondents to the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything – as well as the number of times this ‘mostly harmless’ planet has circled its small unregarded yellow sun in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the galaxy since Douglas Adams’ sci-fi comedy was first broadcast on Radio 4 in March 1978.
Coincidence ? I think not

I did SETI for a while. At one point, I was in the 1% club with a Celeron 400. That must have been around 1999.

As Ken Ham says, if they want to look for non-random coded sequences, they don’t need a telescope, they need a microscope.

An okay to kill time and for some people to have a hobby, but nothing was going to come of it anyway. Nothing out there to talk to/with. As I said, fun diversion as a past time for some, tho.

We are alone. Because we are being shunned by the truly intelligent beings.

Answer is? There are no extra-terrestrial aliens out there, that we could possibly communicate with.

I’m quite surprised. Certainly this shutdown can’t be because enough people realized the impossibility of an intelligible signal traveling across interstellar distances.

Just after they switch off the equipment an alien will phone and say ‘klaatu barada nikto’ which means ‘Why did you hang up?’

Search “active seti controversy.” They pretty much just went ahead and started tight beaming to various points in the sky. I guess some prominent members resigned over it.
