What can I say, I am a female Software Engineer from Cologne in Germany.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I would love to take a look at the earth from above,take a little walk on the moon and travel to the stars. Since that does not seem to be happening soon I take my chances with perhaps discovering signals from other, who have achived that goal. I mean to think we would be the only intelligent beeings in the whole universe is arrogant .... and an awful waste of space after all ;-) Therefor I will keep running the SETI@home as long as I can and wait what will happen.
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.
