From: From: Jim Mortellaro <Jsmortell@aol.com> Date: Fri, 1 Oct 1999 21:49:02 EDT Fwd Date: Sun, 03 Oct 1999 02:14:06 -0400 Subject: NASA Speaks in English but the Control Panel is "NASA said confusion over whether measurements were made in metric or English units led to the crash of a $125 million spacecraft as it approached Mars last week." According to the New York Times today (10-1-99). Am I the only idiot who thinks this "mistake" is the most lame sort of none sense ever perpetrated on US since the president sinned? How two major Military and NASA contractors can each work in different systems boggles this Gripple brain big time. I cannot imagine such an error folks. I've worked for several NASA contractors as well as at NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center, and knowing (less than some of you do) what I do, it just can't happen. It's like Jethro Bodine cypherin to the base ten while everyone else is doin it to another base _and_ in metric! The new NASA call sign: "Help! It's fallen down and I can't get it up..."
