Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI at Home because it would be a pity to let this calculating power just sit here and generate heat if there is something else useful it could be doing.
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.
