It didn't find ET, but it was the largest computation in history, it revolutionized scientific computing, it brought science into the homes of millions of people around the world, and it increased global awareness of the methods and goals of SETI.

And to me Grid/Network/Distributed Computing is the best 'project' of them all. Improve BOINC, and you improve all the projects that run on it. Perfect!

I had no idea that there was that much equipment. I live in the bay area and you would think you would have lots of good views of the bay. I hardly ever get to see it. It appears that you have one of the best views around. San Francisco Bay view ID: 216232 ·

I'm thinking of Roelof who created SetiSpy. I LOVED that little program! Cute and fun. I wonder what add-ons he might have come up with if he was still with us now? Even though I never met or corresponded with him, he made a big difference to my Classic experience. Thanks Roelof. [edit]Plus, of course, always remembering Carl Sagan. I think the anniversary of his passing into star stuff has just gone by too.[/edit] ID: 217705 ·
