My name is Dale. I am from Toronto, Canada. I love astronomy, rockets, and physics. My occupation is in computer networking. I am 32 years old and I am proud to contribute what I can to the Seti@home project.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think we would be ignorant to think we are the only living forms in this vast void we call space. I do believe there is something out there. No one really knows what would happen if we do make contact with ET's. There is any number of possible scenarios that could happen...I just hope it can be peaceful on both parts. I do think humans should transmit beacons for others to find if nothing else than for science sake.
I am running SETI@HOME because I know it would cost a substantial amount of financial resources to fund a project like this with the vast amounts of data to analyze. I am glad to be a part of the SETI@HOME project and donate my processing time to such a cause.
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.
