I'm a systems engineer for an ISP here in London, ON. I'm the typical nerd...Used computers since I was 5 and worked my way up to present day systems. Grew up loving Star Trek (The original series), Buck Rogers and Battlestar Galactica. I was a sci-fi nut. This has enhanced and stimulated my love for true science.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Of course, It's rather arrogant for one to assume that we're alone in the universe. Such claims have been made in the past in Europe during the 15th Century about land West; Not only was land found but inhabitants as well.
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.
