I remember back in the 1990s they were using computers with spare
processing power to analyze signals to look for extraterrestrial life.
I read the Drake Equation and wonder, how do you have a scientific
theory when EVERY term in an equation is an unknown variable?
I hope NASA, etc, never put any money into this rubbish.


I won't call it rubbish any more than I would astronomy and modern
medicine. The first step to prove theory in all or part begins with a
single step. Those who consider taking that first step are free to be
scanned by an actual cat on their next visit to hospital.
