Computing enables innovation in nearly every field

“PROXIMA B: LASERS MIGHT ONE DAY POWER SHIP TO CLOSEST ALIEN PLANET”

1.      The innovation created by Yuri Milner and Stephen Hawking proposes using a laser to push a tiny, wafer-size spaceship to some fraction of the speed of light, and letting it sail off on a ballistic path to a nearby star. The probe would reach 20 percent the speed of light and reach the star

2.      It will impact all the people in NASA and all the astronauts and astrologists because it will be a breakthrough in science. It will also impact us because it would mean we have another planet to inhabit in the future.

3.      It will solve the problem of overpopulation on planet earth.

4.      I think it is a great innovation that will allow us to study more about spacer and bodies in the galaxy.
