Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I can't believe we're alone in this universe, so why not donate spare processing power to assist in the search. Shared processing is an under utilised commodity. It costs users nothing except minor effort to begin with, and the potential benefits are massive.
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.
