BUILDING A NEW Galaxy
Space exploration is fascinating. With improvised technologies, understanding the outer world is becoming fairly possible. How is digitalization backing the space industry?
T
he world is more than what a naked eye can visualize. Outside our living atmosphere stays elements of extreme uncertainty. Drawing the keen eye of scientists around the world, space exploration has been a new milestone. Jumping to yet another dynamic, space colonization is the intention of many enthusiasts and experts. From minute changes such as the replacement of paper maps with GPS navigation and real-time routing to institutions like NASA transforming digitally, the world is indeed stepping into a brighter future. An expected increase in efficiency and effectiveness of decision making can be credited to Digitalization. Clarity of facts and availability of raw material to achieve more is promoting researchers to utilize their talents to a maximum capacity. System integration is enabling quick data transfer. Digital support increases the chances of prior risk- accessibility in a more accurate, reliable, and manageable way while expanding the information to systems and subsystems resulting in better-planned responses. Hithertofore, digital transformation is promising strong prospects for exploring the Moon, Mars, and the universe beyond, making mankind understand their universal role better. A recent understanding of the Milky Way galaxy was achieved by NASA astronomer Marc Kuchner and researcher Susan Higashio using virtual reality Techniques. A 3D simulation animated the speed and direction of 4 million stars in the neighborhood of the Milky Way. This technology

provided a new perspective regarding the motion of stars. “Rather than look up one database and then another database, why not fly there and look at them all together,” Higashio said.
Over the moon
Quite literally, Astronomers have hiked on the moon and brought backtraces to the Earth. The world is now preparing to land the first woman on the moon in Jeff Bezos ‘Blue origin initiative’ greenlit by NASA. Jeff Bezos’s first rocket made history in space, by flying to space nose first then flying back to Earth tail first, and settling down, upright, as if ready to fly again. The same kept repeating again and again leaving many space enthusiasts in awe. “One day, all rockets will have landing gear,” says Bezos. The aim is to cut the cost of space travel by a large extent. Bezos’s Blue origin is making it possible by reutilizing hardware. No other rockets have been launched twice, while blue origin made it possible not just twice but five times. Bezos believes the Moon to be an ultimate source of tapping into extraterrestrial powers and abilities. The Discovery of ice litters on the poles of the moon’s surface can be utilized as their forming elements hydrogen and oxygen, providing a potential fuel source for further space exploration. “The solar system can support a trillion humans, and then we’d have 1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins. Think how incredible and dynamic that civilization will be,” said Bezos. The new generation should have everything as reachable and in proximity as possible.
