I find the project very interested and I feel fortunate and important :) to be able to participate.
I think that there is intelligent life out there, but I don't know if we will live to see the day when we will know for sure. In the mean time I hope and... I run Seti@Home.
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.
