I'm from a small village in Scotland. I work for BAE SYSTEMS designing Radars & Radar Software. I first seen SETI@home running in a Hotel in Munich, Germany and was curious enough to find out more.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe that ET exists and may be monitoring our R.F. emmisions. They may be wondering why we don't respond to 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.
