SETI Suspended due to lack of funding

[Reynod]

SETI have had their budget slashed and now have a 2.5 M dollar shorfall.

Will we ever see those little green guys?

C'mon fellow geeks ... we are going to have to donate to keep their telescopes aimed at the sky.

Is there a paypal link somewhere or do we just send a few bucks each direct to Uncle Sam marked "SETI"??

Surely they could have just trimmed a bit off welfare or education ... or roads ... or better yet ... Foreign aid ??

The revised aim of SETI at this stage is to find those responsible for dumping badge on our planet ... lol.


Read on and weep ...

This is sad, and I just started re-reading Contact recently.

Literally 1 new fighter plane could fund this thing for a decade.

We should put signs on the donor's houses so the aliens probe the tightasses who didn't donate ... no wait ... it would be easier to probe the donors ... so ...

No signs on the houses !!!
