New Looking out is always good.
It wasn't that long ago that we didn't know that there was more than one galaxy in the universe.

I think PZ would agree.

His main beef is overselling the chance of contact soon:

Here’s Seth Shostak pumping up SETI again, and now he’s predicting contact with aliens within 20 or 25 years, or by 2030.


I should have included that opening sentence. :-)

Cheers,
Scott.
