Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think the technology behind the SETI@home project is revolutionary in the way it harness' the power of all of the small desktop workstations and combines them to do work that would otherwise take many more years, and a lot more money.
Someone is out there. It's only a matter of time before we make contact.
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.
