If the Feds paid for SETI, I’d cut pretty much every budget item - except defense - before I’d cut SETI.

The premise of their mission is fascinating and they produce a ton of good radio-astronomy data that is a byproduct of their efforts.

Honestly stated. I wholeheartely disagree with you, and that's the first thing I'd cut, but just out of curiosity, how much money have you voluntarily donated to SETI?
