A Truth....."It Takes Intelligent Life, To Find Intelligent Life"
SETI is broke and unfunded since it's Prime fund raiser, passed away. In my opinion it should stay that way. They want 10 million for someone to sit there and listen to phone static, with hopes of making sense out of it.
Astronomers Want Taxpayer Money to Search for Intelligent Life
Several prominent astronomers say it's time to welcome the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) as a mainstream scientific discipline, worthy of serious study -- and public funding.
Except for a very brief period in the 1990s when Congress allocated $10 million for the search, SETI has been privately funded. The science was just too experimental. Even though success would mean the most profound discovery in scientific history and probably change humanity, there have been too many question marks about the way we've been searching and the chances of a breakthrough have not appeared good.
Besides, in the competition for public funds in the scientific community, SETI was definitely the red-headed stepchild. This was a wise decision given the incredible astronomical discoveries of the last 30 years.
But this is apparently changing. The most powerful ground-based telescope in the world is about to be enlisted in the search. The Very Large Array (VLA) of radio telescopes in New Mexico will be engaged in the search for the first time. And there may be a sea change among traditional scientists to accept the search for intelligent life as an important field of research.
