I did, and you know what I found?
Haisch was among many "crackpots and woowoos" presenting at the
AIAA Joint Propulsion Conference 2001.
According to that, the "crackpots and woowoos" are everywhere! NASA offices, US Dept of Energy, and countless Contractors immersed in "free energy" propulsion research!
What's a "woowoo" to do?

As for my reasoning about the probability of E.T., let me explain it in simple terms...
Given the vast size and sheer scale of the universe, there may be innumerable places where life might have originated and evolved into intelligent creatures. But it is this very same vast size and and sheer scale that makes it very unlikely that any extraterrestrial intelligence would have found us and then traveled over incredible distances to drop in for a visit. The number of places and the distances we are talking about are beyond our own human comprehension. Consequently, there is an inverse relationship between the likelihood of extraterrestrial intelligence elsewhere in the universe and the possibility of E.T. dropping by earth to phone home.

In not many more words, Haisch's the "Speed of Light Limit Argument" is more convincing, and certainly more skeptical.
