Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Of course I beleive there's extraterrestrial life after all if we'r here aren't we as for discovering them i think they'll discover us first.
Benefits and dangers would all depend on what the intentions of the "aliens" would be.
If we are to transmit a beacon i think we should be very careful what it contains we want to be portrayed as a race endeavouring to be peaceful but we don't want to look like a submissive race or an over dominering one either it really is a fine line to be walking on there as far as i'm concerned.
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.
