I live in the Niagara Peninsula, on an island between a river and a canal which flow between two great lakes. Once in a blue moon you can see the northern lights from my back yard. I work for the local public school board in the audio visual dept. I spend most of my spare time on home renovations or at the golf course!
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe it could take thousands of years before we contact the intelligent life that exists in our universe. I think that until we are capable of leaving our system and seeking out our neighbours, we should at least make an effort to listen.
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.
