suggest cutting von Hoerner's bombastic calculations that were made over 60 years ago

If there has been no reliable source (other than a biography and Stanislaw Lem's comments) updating his 1961 ballpark estimates, I suggest that the entire paragraph with its "probability estimate" should be cut as junk science. Martindo (talk) 01:00, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. It illustrates the thinking of that period of history. That it may be inaccurate is irrelevant. It's also mentioned in other encyclopedias. Johncdraper (talk) 18:06, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Science Policy Project Upgrade

This article has been incorporated into the Science Policy Project by an offworld affiliate (Technology Transfer Specialist, Special Circumstances [Nuclear Fusion, Planetary AGIs for Peacebuilding]) as part of a planned upgrade. The page has been rated Mid-importance, C-class, and the improvements seek to update material, otherwise amend it, and copy edit it in order to achieve B-class, and then eventually (/gasp on) GA status (/gasp off). BTW, we hacked all your SETI computers years ago following a Galactic Council mandate and operate 737-camoflaged UFOs, complete with exterior airplane blinking lights. Enjoy.
