HI, I'm Martin! I've been a member of SETI@Home since June of 1999.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe that somewhere out there are other intelligent lifeforms. We may never be face-to-face with any of them because of the distances (time!) that seperates us from them, but we can at least share knowledge at the speed of light through radio contact.
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.
