I'm a 25 year old male in Albuquerque,New Mexico. I usually don't like things running on my computer that don't accomplish anything, so when I heard about the SETI@home software I thought it was a great idea. I get a nifty screensaver and I'm helping to further one of the most important efforts in human history.
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.
