Best Answer

Drake loved electronics and chemistry. He considered the possibility of life existing on other planets as an eight-year-old, but never discussed the idea with his family or teachers due to the prevalent religious ideology.

He enrolled at Cornell University on a Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship and studied astronomy. His ideas about the possibility of extraterrestrial lifewere reinforced by a lecture from astrophysicist Otto Struve in 1951. After college, Drake served briefly as an electronics officer on the heavy cruiser USS Albany. He then went on to graduate school at Harvard to study radio astronomy.

Drake's hobbies include lapidary and the cultivation of orchids.
