Hi- I am a 59 year old male from Michigan, USA. I own my own business and am glad that I found a way to help in the search for alien intelligence.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I have no idea if extraterrestrial life exists. I think that it would be a complete fluke if we were the only one though. If there is other life out there, I would hope that they are not hostile. We have enough of that amongst our own species.
I run SETI@home because if there is extraterrestrial life, there is the possibility that my computer may be the one that finds it.
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.
