Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think the chances of life existing elsewhere are much higher than our chances of actually finding it if it does... But hey, you can't see anything with your eyes closed, so why not look around and see if we stumble across anything?
SETI@Home is a great project. Amazing idea to put idle computer resources to work! And who knows... maybe someone will find another Wow! signal.
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.
