Why do you run SETI@home?
I run SETI@home for a couple of reasons.
1 - my machines are on all the time anyway so they may as well do something worthwhile when I am not using them
2 - on the off chance that my machine is the one to discover ET, I could use the 15 minutes of fame. :)
aThoughts about ETI
I think that ET is out there. I am not sure if they are looking for us at the same time, but I think that once we make contact, it will change the world in a positive way.a
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.
