SETI And Congress

Seth Shostak and Dan Werthimer of the SETI Institute testified before a House committee last week, with Shostak saying there's a good chance we will find alien life-- whether microbial life within this Solar System or intelligent life beyond-- within the next twenty years or so.  Werthimer agreed, outlining several approaches SETI searches are using or will be using soon.

Shostak made a similar prediction a few years ago, so it's encouraging he's found nothing since to change his mind.
