Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I have been using SETI@Home for a long time (under a diffrent account though). It has been kinda fun and a great conversation starter when someone sees your screen saver.
The only thing I dont understand is why are we searching for Intelligent life out there? The only reason I can come up with is the shortage around here.
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.
