I'm one of those optimists who'd like to see people getting on better. Am finishing off a Philosophy/Slavonic Studies MA, I like to meditate and hang with my Baby.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
They are out there, it is pure arrogance to suggest that we are on our own, and such a discovery would hopefully remind us of how insignificant are the differences between humans.
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.
