Most importantly, it was for free as in beer. Sometime idiocy is more
expensive than a brewery.
"The Mars Climate Orbiter [...] was either destroyed in the atmosphere
or escaped the planet's vicinity and entered an orbit around the Sun.
An investigation attributed the failure to a measurement mismatch
between two software systems: metric units by NASA and US customary
units by spacecraft builder Lockheed Martin. [...] According to NASA,
the cost of the mission was $327.6 million ($494.84 million in 2020)
total for the orbiter and lander, comprising $193.1 million ($291.68
million in 2020) for spacecraft development, $91.7 million ($138.51
million in 2020) for launching it, and $42.8 million ($64.65 million in
2020) for mission operations."
