Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I strongly believe that extraterrestrial life exists. Everything discovered on Earth has indicated that life is tenacious and can exist in a broad range of environments.
I feel that the existence of intelligent life will be confirmed through programs like SETI@HOME. Though, I also believe that the existence of lower forms of life will be proven through direct exploration such as the exploration of Mars.
We should never stop searching. We should never stop exploring.
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.
