Douglas Adams' Vision for h2g2



How did you get into h2g2??



The Hitchhikers' Movie:
An Interview with Garth Jennings and Nick Goldsmith



The Seti@home Project



In a supposedly infinite universe, it's probable that there is intelligent life out there somewhere but I have a hunch that initial contact is unlikely to be with some intergalactic pranksters landing in the middle of nowhere, in the dead of night in a shiny flying saucer

There

And if any are

And because the guide reveals that
