Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Whether extraterrestrials exist is simply too soon for us to know. How long have we been systematically analyzing signals, seven years, eight years. And this in a Universe 15 billion years old. It may require millions of years of systematic SETI work in order start drawing valid conclusions.
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.
