Quantum Computing vs Conventional Computing Conventional computing methods are the ones we use normally in our day to day lives on our computers, cell phones, laptops etc. Methods employed to solve problems via conventional or classical computing are by far closest to the way a human brain performs them. In classical computing, information is stored in bits which are the discrete values of 1s and 0s. Performing operations on these discrete values on a classical machine is the same as performing…

“We’ve grown used to the idea of space, and perhaps we forget that we’ve only just begun. We’re still pioneers.” On January 28, 1986, President Ronald Reagan addressed the Nation’s fears and sorrows after the explosion of the NASA Space Shuttle, the Challenger.

the astronauts of this mission, Jim Lovell, “believed it was a success. The astronauts and the Space Control Center were tested on their ability to work together and that is how Apollo 13 succeeded” (Anastasio 90). Apollo 13 has bettered the space program by allowing future space entry missions to be more successful. Up until this point, space entry had been one of America’s greatest accomplishments. As Neil Armstrong once said, it was “one small step for man, one giant step for mankind”…

its Impact on Technology Today). There were also many by-products from the race. For example, scratch-resistant lenses were created by applying a diamond-like lubricating coat over the plastic lenses. This process was originally used in the space program known as “dual ion-beam bonding process”. Another new process was created during the Space Race. The process of freeze-drying foods was created to keep foods fresh for a long time. This was created so astronauts could keep foods fresh as they…
