    What are they going to do with more data and more crunched results? They haven't even looked at the results they already have.

    But if they're still using Aricebo, they'll still have frequent gaps in the data as the military radar screws the recording all up.

    They're not. Going to start using the Parkes 210 foot radio telescope in Australia and the Green Bank 330 foot radio telescope in West Virginia. Neither as big as Arecibo, but they can be moved to focus. This way they have both hemispheres covered.

    They're also hiring a crapload more astronomers and students. Hopefully they'll actually be looking at the data

    Maybe this money means we won't get anymore begging letter in our e-mails. I haven't done anything on Seti for a very long time and probably still won't. But that's just me.

    RETIRED. NO JOB. NO MONEY. NO WORRIES!

    I don't know, if they give badges I might have to run it again

    We need to make an EmSti challenge to welcome him back, something like "EmSti from the world to the stars"

    Googlish translator is out of date, still have not my Alien language, that makes me sad.
