Neil's words could easily have come, with slightly more sobriety, from the lunch-table conversations at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia, where I worked for a few summers in the 1970s and where the discovery of extraterrestrial life was viewed as potentially the most important event in the history of humankind. If they do not wish to stand perpetually shouting for attention from the sidelines, that must change. Because I am a mathematically inclined physicist, my perception of great adventures tends to be biased in that direction, but truly the directions are myriad.
