Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Answer to 1: Yes I think it exists. Otherwise it wouldn't make any sense to search them.
Answer to 2: Of course we should! We should send an image of a man and a woman in as many forms as possible.
Answer to 3: I hope to help find a region where possibly artificial streams are coming from. I don't understand too much the calculations taken in the program, but I hope we all do the right thing.
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.
