Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I do think that there is intelligent life out there somewhere. The Universe is too large for us to be the only ones. I am of the opinion that our planet sends out enough "noise" already that could be picked up by other intelligent life forms. This is an important project and I would love to see strong government sponsorship.
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.
