I'm student of Archeology at University in Italy, and i'm very fun of Star Trek vision... and i'm sure in the future men will go where none has gone before...
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I'm convinced this is a great project... but obviously we don't have to think that finding "voices" is easy... probably they are already there, but our tools are not good enough yet... so it is important to invest more and more in technology improvement.
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.
