I am a 20 year old web developer from Florida. I am running two computers with seti@home running. Computers stay on 24/7. The computers however are very slow (processor speed) so they take a while to run the packets.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1) yes, if they contact us. the obious ones.
2) yes. wishings of peaceful 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.
