I'm a 25 year old student at University of Toronto, studying computer science.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I've always been fascinated with space and space exploration so SETI@home gives me the opportunity to participate in something common people wouldn't. I do believe that there's extraterrestrial life out there, and hopefully these life forms are more advanced than acellular organisms, making this so much more interesting.
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.
