Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Yes. I believe that we will discover it or them before the end of this century. The benefits are more knowledge of the universe and us. Possible dangers are bringing unknown viruses to our planet.
2.Yes. I do not know. Maybe how we function as a human.
3. To help in the search. The project needs more help from our government and the media. Perhaps a tie in with the Hubble telescope.
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.
