yours is much better One of the dumbest tech mistakes i have seen was when the 1999 NASA Mars Climate Orbiter was lost due to a simple unit conversion error. The engineering team used imperial units (pounds) while the software used metric units (Newtons). This mismatch led to the spacecraft flying too close to Mars and ultimately crashing. It’s a classic example of how small oversights in communication and standards can lead to massive failures!
Good one! I never heard about this.
