>In 1999, NASA’s Mars Climate Orbiter demonstrated what happens when things don’t go well. When reporting its thruster firings the spacecraft’s software used metric measurements (Newton seconds). The software on Earth thought that these reports were in pound (thrust) seconds, a smaller unit, and thus underestimated the effects of the thruster firings. This meant that JPL’s model of the Climate Orbiter’s position became increasingly inaccurate and, when its controllers tried to inset the spacecraft into orbit around Mars, it ended up deep inside the atmosphere and burned up.

Well I could point out his record of corruption and failing upward as a diversity hire instead. Would that make you feel better?
