I am from South Africa, currently enrolled in a MSc Space Physics programme at North-West University. I heard about Seti@HOME from my Astrobiology lecturer. I immediately logged on and started. I finished my Physics degree in 2013 and now specializes in Space Physics. I am also an amateur astronomer and I do some astro-photography on the side.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I can't donate any money right now, but I can donate some time on my computer. That is my take on Seti@HOME. I think its worth it and some day we will find something. We have to start somewhere.
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.
