Ep 116 - Off by a Milli-something: How Tiny Mistakes Doomed Space Exploration

Doomed to Fail

About this episode

Ready to get nervous about our place in the universe? Farz tells the story of the Mars Climate Orbiter - lost on the dark side of Mars forever - & other stories of near misses and lost billions of research dollars from one very very tiny mistake. We also discuss the Hubble Telescope and ask the eternal question: how do cameras work?

If you're worried that you're messing up at work remember at least you're not a NASA Scientist (unless you ARE and in that case, WOAH you're listening to our podcast?!?! Thank you, we are honored).
