The Mars Climate Orbiter: A Multimillion Dollar Mistake

The Story Grossman (1999) addresses the incident of NASA’s Mars Climate Orbiter in her article named “Metric Math Mistake Muffed Mars Meteorology Mission”. She explains how a simple unit conversion mistake caused the Orbiter to burn up in the Martian atmosphere. The vessel costed NASA a whopping $125 million when it vanished into the Martian atmosphere. The problem, later identified by a NASA review board, owed to a software glitch. The software was used to calculate the thrust in “pounds of force” while the other software took the input in “newtons”. This happened due to the fact that ...

One of the heartbreaking truths about World War 1 was that millions of innocent men needlessly died because civilian and military leaders were slow in changing their war strategies and effectively employing new technologies. Thus, the war typified a fight between an inefficient nineteenth century warfare which witnessed lot of casualties on both sides, and a twentieth century technology-driven battle in which many decisive technologies were tested. As for America, the trend of industrialism and mass production of machineries and war equipments had begun fifty years prior to the onset of the war during the American Civil War. With ...

The outcome of both actions was pre-determined by the preceding political, military and economic events. The leadership on both sides played an important role as well. Overall, it is safe to ...
