I reside in the city of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I work in the IT field and I have been a member of the Planetary Society since the mid 80's.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI@home in the dream that there is intellegence out there and we will discover them in my lifetime. If we do, I believe it will have a profound effect on the human condition. Contact with a alien intelligence has the possibility of raising mankind up from our inward looking perspective. It may be the catalyst to uniting the human race and freeing us from "The God Delusion" - Richard Dawking.
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.
