I am certain there is much outrage over this, but I just can't muster up a bit of energy to care. It has been running for ~30 years without a nary of worthwhile data. While I certainly think it possible that life exists, seti was never going to be effective imo, as it is the search for a needle in the infinite cosmic haystack. Not to mention, I am with Hawkins... any alien life form there is I probably don't want to meet. It is only 2.5 mil a year, so SETI can certainly find private funding to keep them going if there is any interest among the masses... but after 30 years of nothing, I am no longer interested.
