I'm a homebrewer on Long Island, NY. I freelance as a graphic designer/illustrator to make my living (such as it is). I hope to sell my beer intergalactically once I open my own micro-brewery. I'm sure that will help interstellar relations. ;^P
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. To find new customers!
2. It rocks. Mathmatically there has to be someone out there, so we're bound to eventually find them.
3. Too late to worry about their intentions now, so let's keep looking. Hopefully they don't decide we taste better than chicken wings.
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.
