I am a 46 year old OB nurse and mother to three grown children. Although I live in SW Virginia I am really a transplanted Brit!
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I am convinced that there is extra-terrestrial life out there - one only has to gaze at the stars to be sure of it. All those suns, many of them with planets. If only 1% of them sustained life then there would still be millions of different life forms.
I do think that we should transmit information for others to find, just because we are a war-mongering race it does not mean that others are!
SETI is a fascinating project and I am thrilled to be able to help in such a small way.
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.
