October 2024 has been a momentous month (and year!) for space travel, but without clever software, it would still be a dream.
Elon Musk’s recent launch of the most powerful rocket ever built, which blasted into space before returning to earth just eight minutes later to its launch mount, stunned the world and a large audience who witnessed this history-making moment live.
While this will be the turning point in how humans can travel into space and easily land from where they launched — like conventional air travel — and save billions by not wasting money on a new rocket for each journey, it’s important to note that clever software plays a huge role behind the scenes.
Musk’s rockets have broken crucial new ground as they can be recycled and used multiple times, while, as the world witnessed, be able to reattach itself to its original launch mount — making multiplanetary travel a reality for mankind in the not too distant future.
These new developments are completely reliant on clever software — remember that in 1969 the first moon landing was powered by the Apollo Guidance Computer and while back then it was state of the art, the software on mobile smartphones we carry in our pockets every day are much more powerful than the software first used by Neil Armstrong’s spaceship.
Fifty-five years on and look how far we have come. Our lives are made so much easier by clever software all around us, and while we take it for granted at times, it is something we should celebrate everyday.
The internet began in 1991, and without it we would not have the infinite possibilities we have today. The digital marketing and e-commerce space wouldn’t even exist. But remember 33 years isn’t that long ago, however, we have seen exponential growth, even in the last decade, and especially since smartphones dominated our lives as a tool to always be online and navigate our own personal digital realms that transcend national boundaries.
The parallels of these new developments in space travel, underpinned by a keen reliance on clever software, closely aligns with radiantWEB’s core service offering. Our team uses highly sophisticated software tools to deliver bespoke website solutions that ensure our clients stay ahead of their competitors.
From being able to seamlessly manage WordPress websites centrally for small to mid-sized businesses and start-ups, remain on top of the latest security and plugin updates, and suggest the best SEO practices using AI technology to vastly improve our clients digital footprints, radiantWEB has your business covered thanks to cutting-edge software.
The amount of time and energy saved thanks to this clever software cannot be taken for granted. The tyranny of distance is no longer a stumbling block. What used to take months, if not years, to achieve an end goal has been made possible by clever software algorithms, which is why we have seen exponential growth in all sectors of society.
Like Musk’s rockets, which are reshaping how humans view space travel and the speed of which these rockets can exit and re-enter earth to land within a fine mathematical fraction of their launch, radiantWEB’s clients have clever software at their disposal to navigate the ever-expanding digital space. What was once just a dream is now a reality, opening up endless opportunities and possibilities for growth and innovation.
