I'm 22 years old and I live in Finland. Thats about all I can say. :)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Yes I belive that extraterrestial life exists. I have no oppinion for when humans will discover but I hope that the day will come in my lifetime.
2. Yes we should transmit a beacon.
3. I don't know. Just for fun.
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.
