I grew up with watching ET and Contact and I joined amateur HAM club for some reason.
I guess that was because of the scene from the movie Contact.
My favorite writer and scientist is Carl Sagan, unfortunately he is not here anymore.
I believe there exist extraterrestrial intelligence and I want to meet them if I can.
== Quote from Contact
The universe is a pretty big place. It's bigger than anything anyone has ever dreamed of before. So if it's just us... seems like an awful waste of space. Right?
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
First, I have joined this project in around 2000. I read an article about this project and joined this research just because of the curiosity.
I hadn't run the application for a while and now I am running this application again because I have a feeling that we will see the other intelligence someday.
That's the reason why I rejoined this research.
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.
