Drake equation?

Drake Equation Module Writing Assignment

Now that we have gone over the Drake Equation, we can ruminate over its implications. Based on what you have learned, would you support the search for extra-terrestrial intelligent life-forms? What do we stand to gain or lose? Another point you can consider but which has not been discussed because it is not a part of the Drake Equation is the following:

How would you (and other people) react if we receive communication from an extra-terrestrial intelligence? Would there be a change in your belief system? Would this increase or decrease human conflict? …

Write a paper on whether or not you would support this search. If you support it, you have to explain why it is worthwhile. If not, explain why we should not do it.

This paper must be 3 pages long and double spaced with one inch margins all around in Times New Roman font size 12, MLA style.

Resources: You have had opportunities to search for and read from different sources when we were discussing the Drake Equation. Any use of material from these or other sources to help defend your position in this paper must be properly cited.
