I'm a 30 years old german police-officer.
In my sparetime I like to go fishing, playing the guitar and riding my motorbike (GSF 1200 Bandit).
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I'm very sure that there are some other intelligent beeings out there - the outer space is much too big to be there alone ;-)
We should not transmit a beacon for this because I'm sure, they have already dicovered us and now they are sitting there laughing their asses off ;-)
I run this nice program in order to become "Mr. ET of the year" and earn a big bunch of money by that ;-)
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.
