A proposed bill in Congress seeks millions of dollars that could be used in the search for alien life.

Introduced in the House, the legislation recommends setting aside $10 million for both fiscal 2018 and 2019 for NASA to partner with private sector and philanthropic organizations “to search for technosignatures, such as radio transmissions, in order to meet the NASA objective to search for life’s origin, evolution, distribution, and future in the universe.”
