I am a former Hawaii resident now living in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Although I have a strict Roman Catholic background I have always remained open minded and objective when it comes to cosmology. Billions of galaxies, xbillions of stars; do the math.
I believe SETI is the best opportunity for my generation to learn of any sentient ET's; I ain't gonna be around for-ever and Martian rocks don't cut it.
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.
