I'm a controller for a small pharmaceutical co. in MN. I found out about seti@home about 2 years ago and began running it on both my work and home computers. It has rekindled my interest in astronomy, every time I look up and see the night sky, I can't imagine not finding something out there, if we could only point our antennas in the right direction and tune into the right frequency.
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.
