\section{Counting Civilizations}  In order to estimate the number of technological civilizations that might exist among the stars, in 1961 Frank Drake proposed the following simple equation   $N = R \times f_p \times n_e \times f_l \times f_i \times f_c \times L$ where $N$ is the number of civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy with whom we could make contact.   $f$ are all factors $\le 1$
