I have always loved astronomy. Amid all the changes and surprises in life I can still look up into the sky and recognize the familiar stars and shapes of the constellations. I would love to one day walk on the moon. I would even consider a one way flight as an old man to be the first to die on the moon.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Of course life exists. I would love to read in the paper one day that extraterrestrial life had contacted us and that everything we know and believed would change. That would be cool.
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.
