The main reason for running SETI@home was "WOW Signal", which I had known from a documentary about space life.
I think that we can help each other finding another signal, or even helping experts to widen their views of space by analysing frequencies we get from space.
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.
