Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I first heard of SETI@Home on George Noory's Coast To Coast AM. While I am a solid skeptic that extraterrestrials have actually visited our world, I am awed to think of the odds of life on other planets.
I feel like I am contributing to the future with SETI by helping with the program. I think it's a tremendous idea that common folks can pitch in with very little effort to participate in something with so much potential as SETI. The best part of all is that it just might interest kids in science and make them excited about space and what it means. (Incidentally, I've told every teacher I know about this program!) SETI@Home should be congratulated for it resourcefulness in keeping the dream alive!
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.
