Astronomy!

As i m listening to Metallica's Astronomy : i have got thoughts like never before. Enormous giants NASA , SETI and plenty other for SPACE missions n Extra-Terrestial search missions are all in my mind. People have hugely invested into these , and i am a no escape to being a member at BOINC too ( Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing ). SETI@home is my concern there.

SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data.

My profile @SETI can be viewed from MY PROFILE . Well i started a TEAM , a pity that i am the only member . I dont believe people work for nothing but again a pity i do :) Here is the link for my TEAM . If you are reading this , and if you feel like using the processing of your PC when its idle , i would request you to join " Himalayan Voyage to SETI ( from Nepal )". I have had 358 hours of my CPU time for the project. Though recently stopped , as i write this i know i am going to start it from tomorrow again.

Well, i was about to talk about my sentiments to ASTRONOMY , and i ended up with all marketing. OF course , marketing for no $$$ , and thats the best part. I had always been fascinated by STARS, MOON , SUN-RISEs/SETs , blue sky , satellites moving on a clear sky .. counting stars , making visual arts at the SKY on a clear night. LOL , was that enough for my astronomical knowledge. haha

Literally , i would like to take my STAR to MOON oneday , sip some drinks below the moonshine and be on cloud nine.

Let me end up with a beautiful saying:

The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. - Albert Einstein
