I'm a German professor at Western Carolina University. I'm involved in this project in order to justify my otherwise baseless claim to being an übergeek.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI@home because:
I have an intense need to fulfill my destiny, which is to have the computer which solves the greatest mystery in the universe! I WILL BE THE ONE TO FIND EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE! I'VE GOT A GOLDEN TICKET! I WANT AN OOMPA-LOOMPA NOW!!!
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.
