In my opinion I don't think there are any extraterrestial life on other planets, but hey who knows right. The reason I run the SETI program? Well I guess to help out man-kind in the number one question. As far as the SETI program I would suggest in making it look a lot better than what is looks, more numbers and graphs whould look good.
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.
