twenty five million dollar mars orbiter spacecraft was lost last week because two teams of scientists were using different measurement systems nasa says the likely lockheed martin team that built the spacecraft you see a mishmash of mountain peaks but mission controllers at the jet propulsion laboratory sent out key orbital commands using the metric system to make steps and the orbiter into the martian atmosphere at the wrong trajectory before they register the probe stop sending and receiving signals nasa assumes they are better either burned out or broke apart metric measures are typically used to navigate space craft nasa has not explain why the probe is built to

to watch these actors like a response going to be here well i'm not sure what it can be at this point there's been a body of political thought that space exploration should be privatized and not paid for with the taxpayers' money this will fuel that argument and space exploration will almost surely be harm's way there's great risk that this could also endanger the completion of the international space station here in the u. s. we've been hearing from nasa that the russians have been doing their part but obviously the u. s. congress will not be questioning nasa i don't think they can save eight states is
