I'm from planet earth, student and love internet.. and would like to see the space so Seti@home is one oportunity to listen to it :)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1- Of course yes, when we became ready to accept it and to make the world a peacefull and united humanity. Many things can become from the discovery .. bad and good..
2- This question is hard, because we don't know whats out there so the information that we may sent could become a dangerouse "weapon" against us.. or maybe a way to discover if there is somewhere out there.
3-I run the program because I want to help.. to find out if there is or not someone out there.. I don't know much about the project but I know that we all be participating to one achievement ... To search the sky .. maybe trying to find other types of radio waves and exploing the space..
