"In the United States, home of the biggest space
industry in terms of employment and revenues, the most recent FAA study
on the wider national economic impacts of the US commercial space
activities has shown a rather stable multiplier ratio since 2002 (FAA,
2010). In 2009, for every dollar spent commercial space transportation
industry, USD 4.9 resulted in indirect and induced economic impact.
Using the same modeling techniques as the ones used for the aeronautic
industry, the results show that many economic sectors may be impacted by
commercial space activities, as they provide goods and services,
directly or indirectly, to the space industry. In 2009, the Information
Services industry was the most affected group in terms of additional
economic activity, earnings and jobs, generating over USD 65.4 billion
of revenue, over USD 15.3 billion in earnings, and creating 213 230 jobs
(Table 14.1)."
Just reading through the 2011 Space industry report I linked earlier.
It's here if you want to read the rest.
Otherwise I managed to get a short free tutorial on software optimisation from Rick. :) And I think tomorrow I will recap what I already know and continue with the tutorial that I was doing. I was getting into working with arrays.
