We’re releasing episodes from our mini failure library while we’re on production hiatus.
This week’s Mini Failure is about the Mars Climate Orbiter. Due to unit conversion errors, a space probe crashed into the Martian surface, a really, expensive mistake, setting back Mars data collection for years.
