Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI@home because too many clock cycles get wasted on my computers and because I find it difficult to believe that there's not someone else out there to talk to.
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.
