Last Tuesday Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (and three traveling companions) flew to the edge of outer space. But for 20 years there have been crews of people living there, drifting far overhead in the largest artificial object ever constructed in space.
Indeed, NASA has called the International Space Station “as much a human achievement as it is a technological one — how best to plan, coordinate, and monitor the varied activities of the Program’s many organizations.”
And of course there is a lot of backup and duplication of information to ensure secure processing of data during the flight.”
We do hope for the better future, and for the digital safety and security, and just the safety and security of humanity.
