I agree, SETI researches extra terrestrial planets. Folding@Home, a hot research topic right now deals with trying to figure out how Protein folds. The advantages if this research are huge, if they can understand why a protein folds in a certain direction they will be able to develop protein designed to fight off bacteria and viruses that carry AIDS, Alzheimer's, and even Cancerous cells. Personally I think thats a better cause then looking out in space.
