SETI: The NASA Years

Abstract

This chapter, on the years of SETI in NASA, was initially prepared in 2000 for the celebration of Frank Drake’s 70th birthday, but has never been previously published. All the material in these pages remains as valid today, in 2010, as it was 10 years ago. So it fits well into this volume on SETI Past, Present, and Future, with only minor revisions, and I am delighted that it is now seeing the light of day.
