The inventor of the Drake Equation just did a Q&A I highly recommend checking out. He talks about his thoughts on Extraterrestrial life and our current technology.

In addition to inventing the Drake Equation Frank Drake also helped design the Pioneer Plaque and The Golden Record.

The Drake Equation is used to estimate the number of communicating civilizations in the cosmos, or more simply put, the odds of finding intelligent life in the universe. N = The number of civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy whose electromagnetic emissions are detectable.

The Pioneer plaques are a pair of gold-anodized aluminium plaques which were placed on board the 1972 Pioneer 10 and 1973 Pioneer 11 spacecraft, featuring a pictorial message, in case either Pioneer 10 or 11 is intercepted by extraterrestrial life. The plaques show the nude figures of a human male and female along with several symbols that are designed to provide information about the origin of the spacecraft.

The Voyager Golden Records are phonograph records that were included aboard both Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. They contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or for future humans, who may find them. Neither Voyager spacecraft is heading toward any particular star, but Voyager 1 will pass within 1.6 light-years of the star Gliese 445, currently in the constellation Camelopardalis, in about 40,000 years.

You can find his lengthy Q&A here. I highly recommend checking it out if you are remotely interested science and space exploration.

LMAO. ALREADY LINKED!!!!!

Cheetah , I think there's something wrong with your bot ! There are three links given at the end of this post and a link to the QA ! You should be going after those that put 0 links and 0 image credits !!

@karenmckersie @gavinthegreat guys pars 3, 4 and 5 are direct copypasta. @Cheetah has only picked up on one of them. You should be using > quote markup

for quotes

and trying to keep quoted content to a minimum. Copypasta/quoted content makes up the vast majority of this post and it isn't designated as such.

I did link directly where the information is sourced from. You guys need to quit being such nazis. I am about to quit steemit because of these shenanigans. Plenty of other social media platforms to choose from, and stuff like this will make many leave or turned off from steemit. I was trying to give context to what the post actually about (the q&a) I cant change the facts about a man and his work. There is a difference between intellectual property and facts.

Now after viewing your profile, you seem highly suspicious. 3 hour account going around telling people how steemit goes and trying to run things here. About fed up with voting bots and content cops whoring around.

Mate I didn't accuse you of plagiarism or report you, just pointed out why @Cheetah picked you up. Your mother was asking why you had been flagged by @Cheetah on steemit.chat so I attempted to answer that for the both of you. What you do going forward is up to you. Have a good one.

LOL. Acting like authority. You should have let someone else respond with actual experience in these matters rather than trying to big shot. There are real accounts that are meant to handle this stuff.

Whatever mate, their answer may have been a little more tactful, but the bones of it wouldn't have been any different. This is obviously a second account and you have no idea who's behind it. Grow up.

You are the one that needs to do some growing up. You should be ashamed trying to pass your self off as some content cop. Do you feel good inside? You must be real proud of your self huh. You cant make content so you made this cop account to try look cool and feel powerful. You need to get a life. What you are doing is cancerous.

I am done. I said it to you already. So stop, and leave me alone. You just side step everything and try to make your self look good. When any sane person can see what you are doing.

Take care.

meep

Nothing wrong with @cheetah. No algorithm is going to be perfect. Even using quotes sometimes @cheetah will pick up on it. All @gavinthegreat needs to do is respond to cheetah like he did above so that when a human like myself checks the cheetah comment we pay special attention to it and look for the original vs copied content.

Thanks for your response , its much appreciated ! 👍

Great post I love this stuff ! Upped and resteemed ! ✌👍👍👍
