All these stupid metric conversion mistakes costing billions of dollars that wouldn't have been an issue if only the States would stop measuring things in feet, miles and pounds and catch up with every other country on the face of the earth.
Way to be simultaneously the most technologically progressive and scientifically backward society on earth, guys.
IIRC the Hubble mirror wasn't correctly focused because there was a chip in the paint on the surface of a component in the measuring apparatus. Not because they got their numbers mixed up this time.
(Mixing up numbers usually just makes them crash in to shit at high speed, which is awesome both because crashing in to shit at high speed is always awesome and because we get to see the customary shots of the project leads crying having just spent 3 years of their life making an interplanetary spit ball)
