Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI@home because I've always believed that we are not alone in the universe. Back when I was a kid my Dad installed the original SETI@home client, and I was always fascinated by how the software processed the data and visualized it.
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.
