SETISETI SALUTES THE PACIFIC CUP NAVIGATORS

The mission of the SETI Institute is to explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe.

We believe we are conducting the most profound search in human history — to know our beginnings and our place among the stars.

The SETI Institute is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to scientific research, education and public outreach.

For the 2010 Pacific Cup race, SETI is sponsoring celestial information for the racers, as well as encouraging an interest in our quest

Reflecting our heavy reliance on radio-astronomy, and our efforts to detect signs of intelligent life out there, the 2010 Pac Cup communications vessel VALIS will be awarding a prize for most effective communication, based on signal quality and content.

All participants and spectators are invited to visit SETI at its website, and to consider attending "SETIcon", a conference held August 13-15 in Santa Clara.

Are We Alone? is the SETI Institute's science radio show/podcast

From amoebas to androids to antimatter, Are We Alone? weaves together humor and compelling interviews into themed programs about the biggest ideas in evolutionary biology, genetics, paleontology, technology, and physics – as well as cosmology and astronomy. Are you a doubting Thomas? You’ll have plenty of company as we separate science from pseudoscience and the facts from the phony in Skeptic Check, our monthly look at critical thinking.

Are We Alone? Science radio for thinking species on any world.
