"WASHINGTON ? Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, one of the richest men on Earth, pledged Friday to donate $13.5 million for the research into extra-terrestrial life.

Paul Allen's fascination with technology extends to space; he's helping to fund a telescope that will look for aliens."

are people going to laugh and call him a retard for believing in aliens?

Who doesnt believe in aliens? or life outside of earth?

He should just donate that money to feed the hungry :(

I don't understand why they keep looking for life ouside Earth. Of course it exists somewhere. Let them alone!

how about no?

i think its good, at least he isnt donating it to some bullshit charity so he can tell himself he is a good person, space is the future after we destroy our planet, we should learn all we can from it now.

i would estimate its pretty divided in this country.

here is a CNN poll.

"While nearly three-quarters of the 1,024 adults questioned for the poll said they had never seen or known anyone who saw a UFO, 54 percent believe intelligent life exists outside Earth."

I can safely bet, that my grandmother (catholic) does not and will never believe in aliens.

Do you know how many grandmas there are in the US? Plent ypeople do not believe in aliens.

aliens are like god to me, i dont believe it until i see proof. chances are aliens are more likely to exist than god though.

God is Brazilian

Is it easier to help to not destroy our planet or to find another planet full of life to destroy?

Maybe Aliens are using something inferior to Windows OS.....

:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

nice :glugglug

I cant understand why we still call them aliens. If there is infact life on other planets, that would make us aliens as well. :2 cents:

Big thumbs up for Paul!! :thumbsup

Paul Allen must have a pretty bad crack problem to be looking for aliens :1orglaugh

With the universe as big as it is, how could there not be life anywhere else ?

nice

aliens gotta exist !!!

there is no doubt about it !:ticking

Here is more info on the project.

hope the find one, that would be cool.

Some people might laugh but there really nothing to laugh about since he is one the richest people in the world and most likely will have the last laugh once he finds something.
