Amateur astronomer; since my early teens I've been interested in space, planets and possibility for alien life.
Point my telescope towards the sky when the night is clear. It's a small scope but powerfull enough to see the 4 moons of Jupiter as clear dots around the planet.
Have long been wondering about life on other planets and hope that I might experience the moment alien life (hopefully benevolent) shows itself to us.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe SETI is chasing a good cause. Sure, the odds of finding life outside our planet are infinitesimal, but that doesn't mean it's not there. And I'm glad to be part of the search.
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.
