I'm a 20 year old college graduate from Canada who's somewhat interested in the search for extra-terrestial intelligence. There has to be something out there I'm sure, it would be awfully selfish of us to think we're the only ones in this universe.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
This is an absolutely amazing idea. To achieve what SETI has in 3 years with all of our help would've taken eons with one computer. Although not everybodys intent may be altruistic, they all help none the less.
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.
