Hi!
I'm a male from Sweden born in March 1974, I work as an IT-Technican at a local government.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. I think that extraterrestrial life exists... When will we discover it...? Hmmm... hopefully SOON (at least during my time on this planet, so that I can get a chance to meet them)
2. OF COURSE, we should send a beacon "out there" otherwise they might not come. (see point 1.)
3. I run the SETI@home client because when "THE Day" comes (when we discover a signal) I wanna be a part of 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.
