I was really hoping we would discover extraterrestrial life before he died. He did so much for SETI. RIP, great scientist.

N = number of civilizations with which humans could communicate
R_* = mean rate of star formation
f_P = fraction of stars that have planets
n_e = mean number of planets that could support life per star with planets
f_l = fraction of life-supporting planets that develop life
f_i = fraction of planets with life where life develops intelligence
f_c = fraction of intelligent civilizations that develop communication
L = mean length of time that civilizations can communicate

Wow, if anyone surpassed Sir Francis Drake, it was Frank Drake. I'm saddened, but thanks for posting this friend.
