Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run Seti@Home because my computer's running almost 24/7, and if I can help us learn more about what's beyond our solar system then I'm happy to do my part. I'm almost certain there's something out there, and knowing as much as we can before we explore too far is probably the best way to prepare for anything to come.
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.
