I am a 56 year old Industrial Maintenance Electrician in southwestern Alaska. I am an active amateur radio operator and was introduced to astronomy at a young age. I currently spend my Winters in northeastern Georgia.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
As often said before, it would be an awful waste of space if there were no other intelligent life out there. They are probably too intelligent to want to contact a race of people that have the problems that we do, but it is still interesting to keep looking.
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.
