Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1.) I do believe there is life. I am not sure that they would use radio technologies that we understand but SETI would be a place to start.
2.) Yes, we should send signals of peace and a messege about who and what we are.
3.) I believe that there is life out there and that contact or proff of their exsistance would better mankind and possibly unite the world as a species rather than races or religions.
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.
