Yes, I believe there is life out in space. It would be a pretty lonely place if we where the only people here. I run SETI@home to help out. I know they don't have the resources to do what they want to do. So I'll help out if I can.
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.
