Seti

Linda speaks with Seth Shostak, an astronomer at SETI (Search for Extraterrestial Intelligence) Institute in Mountain View, California, funding for a new radio telescope to be devoted to listening for intelligent life in other parts of the universe. The telescope will be located near the Mount Lassen National Park in Northern California, and Shostak says it will improve the chances of hearing a signal from intelligent life by a thousand fold.
