re: radio survey of a-centauri for intelligent signals: the 's.e.t.i' program was supposed to do that sort of thing. I suppose if there was any intelligent life as close as a-centauri and they were communicating via rf signals, we would have known by now. re: ronnie's speech tonight: radio report says he will propose: ' a permanent manned space station ... AND ... prayer in the schools' !!! With the entire state of Texas and our prez. agreeing that science is opinion rather than evolving consesus based on the statistics of observation , what good will a manned space station be since it will be inhabited by bible-toting fanatics? -------
