I'd like to work as part of the space exploration industry, at least in some way to contribute however I can. I don't have a scientific or engineering background in the professional sense, but I have programming experience, mostly in web development. I'm more interested in getting a job in it, than participate in open source projects. How can I apply these skills to join a company that is doing work related to space exploration and its related technology? Edit: I want to add that web development is not the only kind of programming that I do. But this is what I've done for 90% of my work.
