I think Seti and other such Projekts can be supported by many people, much more than now.
There should be more Projekts like SETI, because it is a friendly competition.
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.
