Stakeholders often ask: “How much does it cost to do this? It sounds expensive.” Instead, they should ask: “How much does it cost not to do these things?”
The primary cause of this discrepancy was that one piece of ground software supplied by Lockheed Martin produced results in a United States customary unit, contrary to its Software Interface Specification (SIS), while a second system, supplied by NASA, expected those results to be in SI units, in accordance with the SIS.

Poor training and computer failings to blame for Heathrow T5 chaos, due to last into weekend
Fights broke out among passengers queuing at Heathrow's Terminal 5 this morning, as British Airway's announced it was cancelling a fifth of its flights baggage system collapsed. Fights broke out among passengers queuing at Heathrow's Terminal 5 this morning, as British Airway's announced it was cancelling a fifth of its flights. As the chaos spilled into a second day, BA's chief executive Willie Walsh admitted that the shambolic opening of the £4.3billion facility was 'not our finest hour' and said more cancellations are expected tomorrow.
Overview of the Incident: In September 2024, a controversial series of videos took social media by storm, particularly on TikTok, showing individuals allegedly exploiting a flaw in Chase Bank's ATM system during the Labor Day weekend. These viral clips portrayed people depositing fraudulent checks for astonishing amounts and then withdrawing cash, mistakenly believing they had discovered a loophole that allowed them to access free money. In response, Chase Bank quickly released a public statement clarifying that these actions constituted fraud and warned customers against mimicking this unethical behavior. They emphasized that such attempts would not only fail but could lead to severe legal repercussions, including prosecution for fraud. This incident underscores the critical need for financial literacy and understanding of banking ethics among consumers.
