I am from Melbourne, Australia working as a network admin for an engineering company.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe in the existence of ETs in the universe and it is only a question of time before we make contact with them. I trust the SETI@home project to find them and running the app on my PCs is a small contribution from my side to the project.
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.
