Have you heard of the LSST? I'm actually more excited for that. Right now if a probe flew through our solar system we'd have almost no chance of detecting it. LSST is going to open our eyes to so many more smaller objects. Enrico Fermi famously wondered where is everybody. Well maybe they're small and they've been flying through our system all the time but we never noticed.

I guess my issue is that I'm not all that interested in SETI. It would obviously be amazing if we find other life, and I'm not against funding or people searching. I just think there is plenty to investigate and learn just by studying the endless ocean of galaxies out there.
