I'm a 33 year old civil engineer who just don't think that we are not alone.....and I'm a geek too....lol.....I had Seti@home set up at work and home so I get a lot done while my computers do nothing.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
