I am 50 years old and from Germany. My hobbies are (old) computers and photography.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think that we are not alone - there are probably thousands of planets out there which support life. Hard to find them - we might be lucky. Since my server runs 24x7, it should do some work for this project.
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.
