I'm a technician at a hi-tech company in Jena, Germany. We are working in the field of extreme UV light sources for the semiconductor industry.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
My Seti@home participation is mostly because of competition with other members at the Jena university. Currently I am sitting on 5th position :-)
Reasons for Seti@Home? At first comes the competition challenge with other number crunchers, but...
To be earnest, I think there should be more attention to the SETI. So this is my part.
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.
