Splitting a Space Separated Dataset with awk

I thought I would publish a simple script on how I split a dataset that looks like below into a CSV file which Excel could work on. The issue I was having was that Excel couldn't seem to find the spaces and use them. I would end up with extra data in columns on my Mac. Perhaps a flaw in the Excel program, or a flaw in the data, or both. However, awk digested it just fine. So here is my script to make it a little more useful for Excel. Mind you it is simple, but there are 1.7 million lines of logging, and it took about a second on my machine to convert. Slick by any measure. The problem now is that Excel is choking on the number of records to display in a chart.
