I was born in Mexico City, raised in San Antonio Texas, and have lived and worked in the U.S., Mexico and Brazil. I am 34 years old and enjoy anything that has to do with science, especially astronomy and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Extraterrestrial life exists WITHOUT A DOUBT. I believe humans will come in close contact with alien entities long before they establish radio communication. Benefits are mind boggling.
2. Humans first need to resolve their problems at home before they can look to the stars.
3. To help in the global search for e.t. contact.
I do not understand why a clear signal has not been detected yet. It defies common logic and Drakes Equation, as well. We must be looking in the wrong side of the spectrum.
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.
