Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
It seems likely that some form of life exists elsewhere in the universe, certainly in very simple or primitive forms. Whether "intelligent" life exists elsewhere (or even here, for that matter) is beyond knowing, unless of course
we find it -- and that would be really amazing. It is clearly worth looking!!
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.
