I am currently a Senior Network Engineer. I have been in the computer field since the early 80s. I am the founder of the Seti@Home group Indiana SETI Search Team.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I joined back in the late 90's. Hoping that I would be the one to find ET. I think it is absolutely a great way to gain access to resources that would ultimately be too expensive to operate in a single location.
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.
