Source of this info? it's a waste of money imho, we got a more challenging situation on earth (hunger, climate changes, and education) and yet that big sum of money used for something that's not sure

[Farhad shaikh]

That,s so funny. $100 Million project to find aline!!! There are no aline in that world. That,s all foolish all project.

It's really funny that some people have so much wealth and money and don't know how to spend this funds better than on something useless for all humankind.
They may wait 100 or 1000 years to receive answer from aliens on some very fare planet but most people need help and support right now.
I don't know it's this funny or stupid news, or both.
But, I guess, it's better even to spend money in this way than for wars or weapons.

There has always been and will always be hunger etc.

The X prize drew a lot of private investment in to the space industry so why not the search for ET.

Personally I dont trust that NASA would reveal the truth of any findings.

A private mission probe to Mars or Europa with $100 million prize is far more likely to get to the truth.

At least we got something to look forward to outside from the typical normal news lol.

Kinda of exciting to see what money can be used for and I`d be thrilled if we do find something out there..

Why not look into our earths crust for those mole people?

Its exciting to know that their is a push for this because it means they will be searching in space and could come across some interesting dynamics to push us towards intergalactic travel. Chance of finding aliens I think may be slim due to space retracting on its self,which gives the impression that this will excel as it does so. Meaning time would be more limited and the advanced aliens are most likely dealing with that than responding to some odd S.O.S call from a backwards alien population.

[bitbunnny]

Don't they have some more clever way to spend their money? I don't think that they will reveal anything, even if something like alien life exists.

When I say alien life - I mean bacteria and up, not little green men running around anal probing earthlings

Alien probing is the only thing a few of us look forward to when the aliens come to say hello.
If they are not cross breeding or eating us,what else does that leave for them to come swing by!

[tuvok007]

Those nano probes will travel 1/4 of the speed of light. That is amazing.

I heard they are still on their way to get Mark Karpeles as they had a shit load of bitcoin in MtGox.  The incomprehensible vastness of space is just slowing them down slightly.

Mark is an alien, one of their own. That's the real reason they are having such a hard time getting him. He knows how they think.

There is money to do both. Help people right now and explore space. Doesn't have to be one or the other. And it's a smaller amount than some big budget movies. That's a bigger waste. This could have a good return in information about the world around us, develop our knowledge in many areas and create infrastructure we may need in the future.

So now I can add my fear of anal rape in jail to potential aliens following them home that also like to rape. Counselling session just got strange this month.
Would be a trip if they looked like us!

[Xenophoto]

Just one question that's bugging me off -- What if the alien life detected the laser beams and followed it to Earth? IMO, this project is dangerous. But it will surely create history in science.

Here's a link for New York times' article

I personally see it as a noble intention: keep money out from their pockets to contribute to science development.


Hope they will achieve some good results.

why spend all those money when it is guaranteed that alien life will be discovered someday.
