I'm a Brazilian writer based in Barcelona. I am very interested in our universe, from a layman point of view, and I would also very much like if first contact was achieved in my lifetime.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI@homa because I'm very interested in the possibility of first contact. I think it's great that so many people around the world commit resources to aid in this goal.
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.
