RIP Frank Drake

[something daft already!!]

Frank Drake, was an American astronomer and astrophysicist who came up with the Drake equation for calculating the probability of technically advanced extra-terrestrial life.

He died today of natural causes at 92. RIP

Had a good innings at 92.
I don't think we will ever find other intelligent life in outer space.

RIP Frank Drake. I'm glad his equation lives on. One day we might find that the universe is teeming with life and can then see how accurate his equation was.

RIP

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth

Yeah we will at some point. Problem is it's a bit too big for us and time is not on our side so nothing close astronomically. My brain can't handle the distances between galaxies though. It can only just manage galactic levels tbh.

Maybe when we have worked out getting rid of these crappy carbon bodies and upload into a Robot head or something along those lines

His dad, Francis was also an absolute legend. He left little clues for treasures all over the world, I went to find them a while ago and made some good friends along the way. Sully screwed me over though, the bar steward.
