My belief mirrors Carl Segan's ideas. I belive that intelligent extraterrestrial life exists.
I run SETI@home because it is in me to explore the unknown. This is a positive (good) project that furthers our knowlege; and hopefully enrich our lives and our civilization and hopefully the civilizations that we contact.
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.
