Industries worldwide share at least one thing in common: whenever something doesn’t go according to plan, a breakdown in communication typically is the common denominator.
When NASA launched the NASA Mars Climate Orbiter into space in 1998, the NASA team on the ground lost communication with the spacecraft soon after takeoff because the computer software on the ground was using the standard system of pound-seconds for impulse, while the actual spacecraft was using the metric system of Newton-seconds. The spacecraft entered the Martian atmosphere too low and disintegrated before NASA could examine the Martian climate.
