Webb Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The US can screw up much better than the French - we have more money. MARS CLIMATE ORBITER TEAM FINDS LIKELY CAUSE OF LOSS The peer review preliminary findings indicate that one team used English units (e.g., inches, feet and pounds) while the other used metric units for a key spacecraft operation. This information was critical to the maneuvers required to place the spacecraft in the proper Mars orbit. Way to go, "scientists". BTW, whet does "Merde" mean?
