“ Men and Women wanted for a hazardous distributed computing Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Low wages, bitter false positives, long hours of data crunching, overheating CPU's and GPUs. Safe return doubtful without caffeinated beverages. Honour and recognition in event of technosignal detection.” (adapted from the apocryphal newspaper ad made by famed explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton)SETI@home is down? Really ?

"Get your circle of people involved. It isn't all about the fastest server farm (though those are important), it is about reaching people and making them a part of something bigger even if they only have a crappy slow machine at home. It is part a public relations outreach as we make people feel a part of something that they will then maybe financially donate to, and/or elect science friendly politicians who will help. I can't wait for my new seti shirt to get here, and remind people that this project is still around after 20 years and hopefully get more people in the tent." - Unixchick https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=83777&postid=1990998

A Multi-Planetary Life - In the words of Elon Musk, founder and CEO of SpaceX, "It's important that we attempt to extend the life beyond Earth now. It is the first time in the four-billion-year history of Earth that it's been possible, and that window could be open for a long time - hopefully, it is - or it could be open for a short time. We should err on the side of caution and do something now." https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/20313/20190417/a-multi-planetary-life.htm
