Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I do not hope that extraterrestial life exists. Otherwise the world will have a big problem, because humans do not accept any inteligent life beside them. :-(
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.
