SETI Shuts Down - Unsuccessful Alien Contacts

SETI, by far the largest experiment to locate other beings in space, has shut down permanently as the US Government pulls funding for the massive project.

Is it any coincidence after 'Battle: Los Angeles' and 'District: 9'?

SETI is still collecting private donations in hopes of resurrection, but it's a long show.

Gizmodo has the details here.



*Update*: Jodi Foster, among others, have rallied to save the project, at least in the short term.
