I am a History graduate student in Washington DC. MOst of my hobbies revolve around archival documents, but I do enjoy board games and having a beer with friends.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think it does. It does not mean ET is within reach, but it would be fun to try and find it. Worse case scenario is we keep the hope alive.
I like running seti. all my computers now run seti in the background. It seems like a waste to leave them idle for too long.
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.
