Nadia Drake on her dad's (Frank Drake) famous equation and the work to 'fill out' the equation.

Nadia Drake on what the Arecibo telescope meant to her and her family. She is the daughter of astronomer Frank Drake (originator of the Drake Equation).

"The Arecibo Observatory was not only a window to the universe, but also a treasured second home to the Drake family."

Nadia Drake (the daughter) on Frank Drake (the father). 🙂

"“Searching for intelligent life was considered bad science in those days,” says [Frank] Drake, who just turned 90 years old—and is better known to me as Dad."
