I've always had a fascination of the likelyhood of intelligent life out there somewhere.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Yes. Contact will more than likely be through either radio contact or other means of communication long before any physical contact is possible. The benefits of contact with another intelligent lifeform can be nothing but benificial to both. The only danger is reaction from those here, not there.
2. Yes abolutely, isn't that we're hoping from another? The information should be some type of universal mathematical information. Once something like that is recognized further information could be exchanged somehow.
3. I run SETI@home simply because we need to keep trying and I know the difficulties in funding projects like this.
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.
