Your personal background.
Spanish male citizen born in Germany (Nordrhein Westfalen)in 1966 (bilingual), that means that German and Spanish are the best languages for me to get in touch with you. I have a fairly good English level and I feel comfortable with. I am studying at the U.N.E.D. , spanish long distance university based on virtual learning www.uned.es. This is my second year for Tourism Bachelor degree. I am also learning some Russian, so if someone wants to practice Spanish in exchange of russian tuitions we will probably have some fun.I like swimming and I do not smoke.

Un saludo especial a todos aquellos cuya lengua oficial es el español (castellano)

I would like to say that all this interest of mine for science, SETI@home and astronomy is due to the TV program (and book which I still conserve after all these years) "Cosmos" by Mr. Carl Sagan. I have never seen such an interesting, amazing serial since then again. Wonderful in all aspects (script, performances, special effects, scenarios,...) but definitively the ultimate detail was the speaker, the person that created it and knew how to explain, translate ideas/concepts and bring light into the common average spectators minds.

Without him all this star stuff would not be here:Carl Sagan

КоÑ?моÑ? - Ñ?то вÑ?е, что еÑ?ть, что когда-либо было и когда-либо будет. Одно Ñ?озерцание КоÑ?моÑ?а потрÑ?Ñ?ает: дрожь бежит по Ñ?пине, перехватывает горло, и поÑ?влÑ?етÑ?Ñ? чувÑ?тво, Ñ?лабое, как Ñ?мутное воÑ?поминание, будто падаешь Ñ? выÑ?оты. Мы Ñ?ознаем, что прикаÑ?аемÑ?Ñ? к величайшей из тайн. Размеры и возраÑ?Ñ‚ КоÑ?моÑ?а лежат за пределами нормального человечеÑ?кого пониманиÑ?. И вÑ?е же человечеÑ?кий род молод, любопытен, храбр и подает большие надежды. Человек рожден удивлÑ?тьÑ?Ñ?, поÑ?тижение еÑ?ть радоÑ?ть, а знание - залог выживаниÑ?. Я верю: наше будущее завиÑ?ит от того, наÑ?колько хорошо мы будем знать Ñ?тот КоÑ?моÑ?, где мы плывем, как пылинка в утреннем небе.

Карл Саган

Your opinions about Einstein@Home
1.) Why do I run Einstein@home? Well, very interesting project and because almost 94% of the capacity of my CPU is available most of the time.
2.) What are my views about the project? The deep dark night above us has so much to show, to discover, to understand that any help and effort is worth.
3.) Any suggestions? Searching for terrestrial intelligence first would be a great idea! :-)
