What is C++ programming language?
You can read more regarding object oriented programming. In actual fact C++ was originally called C with Classes and is so compatible with C that it will perhaps compile more than 99% of C programs without changing a line of source code. This was a deliberate design feature by the designer. The main intention of C++ is to correctly define a series of operations that a computer can perform to carry out a task.
Most of these operations occupy manipulating numbers and text, but whatever thing that the computer can physically perform can be programmed in C++. Computers have no intelligence- they have to be told accurately what to do and this is defined by the programming language you use. Once programmed, we can repeat the steps as numerous times as you wish at very high speed. The Modern PCs are so fast they can count to a billion in a second or two.

A short note on Space exploration
It was given a boost up by the start of Sputnik 1, the first man-made object to orbit the Earth, which set off the space race involving the United States and the Soviet Union. The Two other well-known achievements in the early days were putting the first man in space, the Yuri Gagarin aboard Vostok 1, and the first people on the Moon, the Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin aboard Apollo 11. After 30 years of rivalry focus has started shifting from competition to help and from the one-off flights to renewable hardware and most lately to the building of extra-terrestrial start on platforms, like from a space station and perhaps from the Moon.
