Nestled in the 290 miles northeast of San Francisco, Allen Telescope array does not hold because budget cuts forced the SETI Institute off site in April of last year. Rather than continue the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, 42 radio telescopes array now dot the landscape of how strange the ruins of the lost civilization.
It was, at least until the SETI Institute announced that due to their recent fund-raising efforts, ATA will get new life next month.
Thanks to the initiative of the Institute of SETIStars, with names like Jodie Foster and Apollo astronaut Bill Anders was raised $ 200000 popping up in the list of donors. An unspecified amount of money will also be presented in United States AIR FORCE, a few months worth of E.T. search must deal to go through.
This promising restart SETI, but there is no guarantee that the array will continue to work. The object is worth an average of $ 1.5 million to operate each year, with most of its funding from Government sources. The Institute had already shown that he has few friends with deep pockets, but the future seems shaky passing array of 2011.
Fan as I am of all things relating to outer space (and how someone saw contacts in more than 12 times), I hope that they manage to stick to the stars for their collective ears as long as they can. Search for extraterrestrial life may seem baseless to some, but guess what day it would be if these radio telescopes has something worth listening to. Unfortunately the financial reality of the situation means that drug addicts could be allocated space to take what we can get.
