I am currently 19 years world today(03/19/06) and I am a physics major. I think SETI is a wonderful project and SETI@Home is so wonderful because it allows me to help in a way right now.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1) I run SETI@home because I believe that the discovery of life outside this planet whenever it happens would be the most wonderful and important discovery ever!
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.
