As you remember, Vasilii Ivanovich decided to go into business, that's all ... and work started. But in a world of uncertainty and chaos, where the rules are not rules, not everything goes as you wish. And suddenly Vasiii Ivanovich dropped across a rare content which shared the knowledge with him. But everything in order...
Once, in the twentieth century, scientists worked so long and so obstinately and launched a major space probe for research. Having overcome long and dangerous journey, the probe entered the orbit of the large planet and undertook maneuvers there. All programs were executed in accordance with the instructions. Passing the opposite side of the planet (invisible to the observers), the probe vanished from sight. Command and engineering staff were waiting impatiently its appearance on the other side of the planet. About ten minutes passed like this, but the probe has not appeared. Nothing...
It turned out later that the craft created by brilliant scientists was captured into a different orbit and flew too low. As a result, it burned up in the atmosphere. In fact, It took awhile longer to understand the cause of the incident. And the reason is so: in a mathematical equation units of measure have not been converted from the British into the metric system (pound), and the space station of $300 million went to its certain death. The spacecraft was doomed even before the start.
The worst thing is that the navigation blocks identified this problem, but their calculations were not taken seriously...
Our project team got many ideas...
Dear friends, what do you think: if the design engineers were aware of similar (abnormal) situation, or have read a fantasy novel? Could it have been avoided?
Expect to continue the story in the near future. It's just the beginning...
