Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I am a firm believer in life elsewhere than earth. There are so many galaxies and universes out there that could have planets and do have planets that could sustain life as we know it. I hope that this program one day proves that so that I may say that I was a part of the search. One suggestion would be a smartphone application and add a star map of the area of the sky your computer is researching other that that I think what you are doing.
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.
