I'm a 31 year old guy from Finland working with developing computer programs for a company in the Power industry. Since I was a little boy I have been interrested in science-fiction and the possibility of extra-terrestrial life forms. I heard about the Seti@home about one year ago, and since that I always leave the computer running a few hours extra after every time I have been using it at home. Now I only wish for a faster processor to speed up the analyses a little bit. (And I probably will buy one in the near future...)
Regards,
Peter
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
One short comment about SETI@Home; the guy who came up with the idea of using the incredible amount of processor power that is available via the Internet for analysing the data should get somekind of a price. Brilliant! (We WILL find "ET" sooner or later.)
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.
