Guess they should have done some more debugging eh? : )

lmao some scarry stuff
agreed. especially ones with break statements in the wrong place. but it happens.Originally posted by RoD

well its always the easiest part that gets messed up : )

any crashes?
LOL! Shouldn't these kind of systems be heavily tested before sent as faar as Mars?4. Mars Climate Orbiters, Loss

It makes sense to me. The aircrafts were probably flying too low. How can a missle be able to tell the difference from a missile, or another aircraft? They all give off heat. I don't think its a software issue, it must be personal error that nobody wants to admit to.
So while they are conducting a software investigation, it gives them time to cover it all up.
what about the human caused ones...i know they all are but, you guys remember that mars mission that, the software guys wrote code in imperial, and when they tried to fly it they used meters and it was all f'ed up
guns dont kill people, abortion clinics kill people.
I heard that they did that and it crashed into mars, but I still think that there must be more to the story.

The planes fly at a set altitude.
The planes give off radio signals.
The planes have a four digit 'friend or foe' ID code.

are you talking about the patriot missile system or the tomahawk missile system? The most recent US missiles that have gone astray were the tomahawks, and they aren't used for shooting down airplanes AFAIK.
Ummm..........Patriots.
I thought this was clear enough.
"How can a missle be able to tell the difference from a missile, or another aircraft?"
As you say tommahawks are surface to surface.
If you missed that you probably missed the double negative in the CNN quote.

You know...
Maybe they should post the code here, and can help debugging it!
none...
