Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Seti@home (and now Boinc) appeals to me because of the synergy of using all those individual computers to do something that could be so important!
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.
