SETI is a COMPLETE waste of money and I wouldn't donate 2 bitcents to your cause.
Go get some Military Grade Night Vision Infrared goggles and go out on a dark night and you'll find all the intelligent life you want to.
Send me bitcoins instead.
It's investment in pure science and ideas that have no immediate commercial return that often eventually produces the discoveries that give you the toys you so like.
How ironic that infrared radiation was discovered by an amateur astronomer and you choose this example when decrying SETI as a waste?!
You are a prize goose indeed bitrebel.
And somehow you equate SETI with discovering Infrared radiation?
You are the Goose, and a fool no less.
and may I add, someone who talks a bunch of shit out of their mouth and uses their brains for farting.
