I'm 52 and live in Texas after my job transferred me here last year from a very comfortable home in California. I started using SETI Classic on my Mac and logged just over 23,586 hours. Got a PC last year and started logging time on it as well. I'm glad to see the program still going strong in spite of those who doubt that we are not alone in this universe.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI because I truely believe that there is life outside of our own planet. There has to be, the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of it.
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.
