Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. I run SETI@home because I want to be involved in the search for life out there.
2. I think the project is awesome. I think the people who have become involved with it are clearly smarter than most of the humans on this planet. And I believe I am making my mark by assisting with such a wonderful idea as this.
3. My suggestion is that you should have Neil deGrasse Tyson present cookies to those people who have discovered proof of life.
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.
