I'm from Christchurch, New Zealand. I'm 22 and work as an electronics technician.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think that SETI is an excellent project and I enjoy the fact that we can do our bit for it (as well as using the SETI program to test machine set-ups)
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.
