Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI because I have always believed that we are not alone in the universe. I would love to have proof positive that there are other beings out there who are trying to do the same thing we are, make contact with other inteligent life forms. I visited the Aricebo Observatory in Puerto Rico about 10 years ago and ever since then I have been interested in signing on to this project. I finally got a computer that can handle the work and decided to hop on board.
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.
