I am a student at Siena College who wants to utilize their computer idle time for something more productive. I am a software development major who started this project on a raspberry pi.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think seti@home is a great way to productively use computers when they aren't in use. This project should get more recognition for their work and I think it will be like Khan academy in the future.
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.
