I'm a Security Officer at a state run mental hospital in Illinois, USA. I'm 36 yrs. old and a father of 4 boys who are all interested in the thought of extraterrestrial life.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I learned about SETI through the movie Contact with Jodie Foster. I was intrigued by the operation. My sons love the movie Signs about alien visitors.
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.
