Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI in honour of my late Sister - C. Seema De Zwirek (1945-2002) who was fascinated with all things about space and enjoyed speculation about its exploration. She especially loved Star Trek.
Her name is engraved on the pyramid on the Itokawa asteroid. It was successfully placed there by the Hayabusa spacecraft. Seema's name is out there in space for eternity.
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.
