- The most famous one that I can remember is the Great Kersten Blunder(Kersten was the programer that made the error). The Vigor space probe was sent towards Venus, but because of the computer programing error installed on it had a converting program for millimeters to inches, but it divided by 24.5 instead of 25.4. This error caused it to miss Venus completely and was sent hurling into space. Over 2 billion dollars of technology was lost because of one simple error.
- The Mars JPL rover had a problem with converting English measurement into metric. It was lost, literally.
- An air Canada flight was refuelled in Toronto using litres instead of pounds of fuel. The pilot calculated how much he needed thinking he was getting his fuel in pounds and eventually ran out of fuel near Winnipeg. He successfully landed the plane safely at a semi abandoned WW2 airstrip at Gimli Manitoba.
