Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I have been running Seti@home for almost three years. I keep hoping something exciting would splash accross my screen one day but I know the chances of something like that happening are slim. So like the rest of you, I keep it running and waiting just on the off chance something will be discoverd.
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.
