Now, at 3 o'clock in the morning when you're all alone, haven't had much sleep, that was a very romantic idea, but it was that idea -- the fact that you could in fact prove that there's somebody out there just using this same technology -- that appealed to me so much that 20 years later I took a job at the SETI Institute. Now, I have to say that my memory is notoriously porous, and I've often wondered whether there was any truth in this story, or I was just, you know, misremembering something, but I recently just blew up this old negative of mine, and sure enough, there you can see the Shklovsky and Sagan book underneath that analog calculating device.
kini pada jam 3 pagi saat Anda sendirian, kurang tidur, tampaknya itu sangat romantis, namun karena iitulah -- kenyataan bahwa Anda dapat membuktikan ada seseorang di luar sana dengan teknologi yang sama -- yang sangat menarik saya 20 tahun kemudian saat saya menerima pekerjaan di Institut SETI. Kini, saya harus berkata bahwa ingatan saya sangat buruk, bahkan saya sering bingung akan apakah kisah saya mengandung kebenaran atau saya hanya, Anda tahu, salah mengingat, namun baru-baru ini saya baru menyalin negatif film lama saya dan sudah pasti Anda dapat melihat buku Shklovsky and Sagan di bawah alat penghitung analog itu.
