Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think extraterrestrial life exists. I do not think we should transmit a beacon. I run SETI because it helps a worthy cause and allows my computer to do something useful. I greatly admire the intelligence it took to bring SETI into existence.
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.
