Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I don't think extraterestrial life exist wihin the limits we can reach. But we have to try and check. The current amount of investigation gives my the impression that there is no intelligent life within several hunderds of lightyears. Life at all within this sphere is likewise small. But I really don't know for sure. It is to me the most interesting question in our lifetime.
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.
