As a Certified Member of the National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers AKA "NARTE" at http://www.narte.org I would feel leftout if I did not particpate in this program. You never know! As a former member/employee of NASA's Saturn V project I think there is something out there.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I am keeping an open mind as to ET.
We should transmit that which we expect to receive.
I run SETI@home to be an active particpant in the "Search".
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.
