Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI@Home because there is at least a remote possibility of finding some kind of a signal. Although since we aren't constantly transmitting anything at the frequency that we are searching, should we really assume that extraterrestrial’s are going to have a high powered transmitter constantly running for millions of years? I wish we could do search a broader spectrum, but of course that would take a lot more technology.
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.
