Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I've been a member of SETI@home for a couple of years now. As an SF-fan I liked the idea of the SETI project, so I decided to join it. After a while into the project I became a member of a well known dutch tech forum (gathering.tweakers.net), which also happened to be the forum of the Dutch Power Cows. Since I'm fairly active on that forum nowadays I decided to join the Dutch Power Cows.
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.
