Hi there,
I'm 29 and working as a Database Administrator in Leeds(UK)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Does extraterrestrial life exist? Almost certainly, I find the likelyhood of Earth being the only life bearing planet remote to say the least. As for benefits/dangers? I think we should look back into our own past - back to the discovery of the Americas - Certainly approach such a discovery with caution.
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.
