Hi! I'm Gnafu, this is only a nickname but it's nice. :)
I'm Italian and I tried Seti@Home because I was interested in radio-analisys and astronomy.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
If ET exist and they can send Radio messages in the space probably they were here.
And if they can come here we will have a lot of difficulties to understand them and vice versa.
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.
