Computers in Space Science Essay by serendipity

This paper discusses the topic of the use of computers in space science. Specifically, it looks at the roles computers have in current space technology and how they have effected the lives of everyone in the world. It shows how, before large-scale computing was developed, the technologies necessary to design, build, and maintain a space program simply did not exist and how computers have made it possible to explore the moon, stars, and beyond. It also looks at how computer technologies used in space have also created a vast wealth of technologies that have trickled down into everyday living, which include virtual reality technology, advanced computer keyboards, customer service software, and database management systems.
