Extraterrestrial life definitely exists, and we will discover it in the next 100 years. As a result we will gain knowledge and a superior understanding of the universe.
SETI@home is the way to reduce that year span. It doesn't get in the way of what I am doing in my day to day life. Everyone should join this project and help for the discovery of intelligent life. We just need to know where to listen, that’s all!
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.
