Alien spotting - all you need is a bigger telescope

[Deckerd]

If you want something and you have a silly amount of money, then you will get what you want.

this will do it

I especially like the timescale: "Its creators hope it will help spot definite signs of alien life by 2025."

Here's another link on that, from the New York Times, with a photo of these mass-produced, low-cost radiotelecopes that will form an array of 350, boosting SETI sensitivity 1,000-fold:

...of course it would have been much more effective if it had been built on the far side of the Moon (to block out all our pesky EM interference.)

But NASA has had trouble getting ANYTHING up lately...

One does hope that alien life will adhere to the schedule, of course.

Maybe we'll manage to detect the alien invasion force which is on its way to Earth right now, if we spot it in time perhaps we'll be able to mount some form of defence.

It's only the Paleds. No need to worry.

Acording to some theories, the flash you see to the left is america's 'starwars' defences firing at the ufo.

I'd like to see a better quality video, to be honest. I'm not convinced that was even shot on the shuttle, let alone is the UFO being shot at that it claims to be.
