nice info graphic of things we totally need and will throw heaps of cash into.


lets really think of this 2.5mill a year on a global economy is small change. seti could even be funded privately by a single CEO of any major company.

Seti Funded by Canon or Apple or Microsoft or Starbucks or even a third world country the ongoing cost is so small

Portions of SETI have recently been funded by DELL and IBM which reduced hardware calculation issue with Proprietary equipment. This means that a lot more is now automated.

Hopefully they will receive more funding for direct maintenance.
