Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think the idea of SETI@home was a stroke of genius. Instead of a couple of servers working on the data you now have 4 1/2 milion pc working to deceipher the data. This universe is so big that you have to be pretty stupid to think that we are the only intelligent race in 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.
