LOL. I love this! NASA has to correct their study because a blogger reverse engineered it and figured out it was wrong! This is an awesome story. Hope some lurker from the media picks it up.

No suprise from an Agency that sent a gazillion dollar probe crashing into Mars because they didn't convert metric calculations.

There's a scene in the movie The Dish (Apollo 11 happenings Down Under) where the NASA rep is checking the Aussie radiotelescope's mission plan.

NASA guy: "Every coordinate has been changed! Why have they been changed?"

Dish guy: "Because they were wrong."

NASA guy: "Why were they wrong?"

Dish guy: "I don't know."

Dish boss: "No, what about them was wrong."

Dish guy: "Oh, NASA sent us the coordinates for Northern Hemisphere, and we're in the Southern Hemisphere. I can change them back, but we'd be pointing the wrong direction."
