Great Astronomers - There goes the locker room...
Henrietta Swan Leavitt -- without her, we might *still*
be trying to figure out how far away other galaxies are! And she did it all while being severely hearing impaired! http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank...es/baleav.html http://tinyurl.com/7z362 happy days and... starry starry nights! -- Star light, star bright, Fairest star on awesome height, I wish you may, I wish you might Bring this Earth a bit of light. Indelibly yours, Paine http://www.savethechildren.org/ http://www.painellsworth.net

Most of astronomy doesn't demand that you be able to hear. Especially
collecting the fundamental data like Leavitt did.

Leavitt's contributions to astronomy are extremely greater than
anything that Grice or Cullers have done so far. SETI research is a waste of time and resources. Saul Levy On Mon, 20 Jun 2005 07:41:10 GMT, "Painius" wrote: "Saul Levy" wrote in message... .. .

SETI research is a waste of time and resources. Saul Levy Well, Saul, we'll just have to agree to disagree about that... just like we've been agreeing to disagree about your seeming inability to follow UseNet protocol and not toppost your responses. I do wish you'd learn how to respond BELOW previous writers' quotes, as it's a teejus process to reposition your wonderful contributions manually. Yes, i think Leavitt's contribution was weighty on several levels, but to compare her contributions with Grice's or with Cullers' is like comparing apples to oranges. Maybe it's because i once worked as a sort of "human seeing-eye-dog" for a blind man. We have no possible way of telling just where Cullers' past contributions might lead. Nor have we any way to discern what contributions presently blind astronomy students, who were tremendously helped by Grice's work, may make. I just don't understand how you can make such a statement with a straight face! even about SETI, a valid arm of astrobiology! In fact, i'd like to see SETI expand by being involved with future Pioneer/Voyager-like missions. Let's get those puppies out there and train their instruments back upon the Solar System so we can perhaps discern a 'living' solar system from one with no life. Then we can apply what we learn to our search for extra-solar planets and systems, and become more focused in our radio astrobiology efforts. IMHO OC ! happy days and... starry starry nights! -- Photons!... Puzzling bursts of energy! Particles and waves they be! Pummeling eyes so we may see! Promises of dreams to be!

I always toppost!
SETI is still a waste of time. Nothing has been found and I'm willing to bet that nothing will be found for a long time.
