I'm am student studying InformationTechnology at the University of Applied Sciences in Friedberg, Germany.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Distributed Computing inherits great chances of speeding up technological advancement and should be used to benefit whole mankind as it is
only used for peaceful purposes.
Though anyone who disagrees on the idea of life outside our solar system
is a moron anyway, i want to participate in and speed up mankinds progress towards the first contact with alien lifeforms.
Just as Einstein once said :
"Everything that is thinkable can be done one day, regardingless of how unrealistic it may sound at present"
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.
