37 yr old Active duty Coastie (20+ yrs total service now) working at HQ. I am from North Carolina but currently live in Northern Virgina. My hobbies include my motorcycle and computers. I use Apple computers when I have a choice, and have owned a Mac since 1988 (Mac SE which I still have and it still works!)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think that it is kind of silly to believe that we are the only ones out there (remember that we once thought that the earth was the center of the universe and the sun rotated around us.) If I can throw a couple of computer cycles at trying to solve a problem, why not?
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.
