Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I started running SETI back in 2000, but then kinda got out of it after I got out of college. Now I have it running on my laptop again after all these years. It's amazing the progress that's been made in the program itself over the years. It's much faster now.
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.
