SETI in collapse?

Recommended Posts

You probably know this organization before; it does exist. The first time I have heard of this was in the movie Independence Day where scientists in SETI were searching for any extraterrestrial activity involving aliens.

 

See info on what SETI is.

 

Sadly nowadays, it appears they want to shut down the program after so many fears despite economic fears. Without the program and all of those satellites, Earth won't be safe from unusual phenomenons with a possible 2012 doomsday on the way.

Oh dear god! Now the aliens can invade at any time and there is nothing we can do to stop it! Wait, they're already here, deactivating our defences! OMG RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!

 

Seriously though its hard to justify an organisation that hasn't achieved its goal since inception, specially with more pressing matters here on earth to contend with.

It's funded by private money, not government money. So long as the capital pours in, it's not going to be shut down.

I have a little box next to the words "care". It is left unchecked.

Now guys, seriously here. This is an obvious blow to our extra-terrestrial defense. Now, I don't know about you, but our right to bear arms doesn't exactly mean Americans are going out and buying their own... oh wait, yeah, we all have telescopes and satellite dishes. Never mind.

Oh yes, SETI failed because searching for extra terrestrial life is as easy as sending a radio transmission into space and waiting for a response. Makes perfect sense.

Well, they say Jesus died for our sins. So if we don't sin, Jesus died for nothing.
