I'm a 36-year old Network Engineer from sweden. I always thought there must be something more out there. Well, at least since I watched Moonbase Alpha and Star Trek when I was a child. :)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
For me It isn't a question of if there is anyone out there just a question on how long it will take for us to find them.
The only thing I'm afraid of is that they actually allready know of us, but since we are so self-destructive they hide from us. OR, if we find them someday and some idiot decide to kill them all because they don't look like us, and god knows everybody MUST look in a certain way or else..
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.
