Aloha, I am a 28 y/o male originally from Hawaii but living in central Florida. I live the life of a poor graduate student who also works full time. Best wishes to you.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Seti@home is great .... the odds certainly lead towards life being out there, but it doesn't seem likely that we will make contact during my lifetime. But then again, you never know. :)
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.
