Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
SETI@Home is one of the most innovative uses of the world's
personal computers.
I am only sad that amateur astronomers and enthusiasts can not
contribute to the listening and broadcasting of signals to space.
If intelligent sentient life exists,
there is not only an incredible spacial hurdle to overcome
but a temporal one as well.
Only constant vigilance will allow a better probability
of communication and help to answer the question
"Are We ALONE?!".
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.
