Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think extraterrestrial life has to exist somewhere out there... the level of advancement is beyond me though. I can only guess at what might be out there. I basically run SETI because I like to see my computer crunching away at all that data faster than any of my friend's computers can do it :).
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.
