Hello! My name is Dave. I am a 42 year old father of 4 with my girl Bobbi. We as a family love nature and science. I used to run Seti@Home years ago when it first came out. I am grateful it still exists and can run it again.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I love being part of the project and I get to use it as a teaching tool for my children. The project has gotten so much better than when I did it before a decade ago! If there is an identifier other than coordinates of the sky you could add, it would be helpful. I use Google Earth Sky Mode to show the kids where we are scanning but I have to do it manually which is difficult.
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.
