The $150 Million Coding Mistake! 😱💻 #funfacts #funfact

In 1962, NASA’s Mariner 1 was supposed to be the first U.S. mission to Venus… but it never made it. 😱 A tiny mistake in the Fortran code—either a missing semicolon or a missing overbar—caused incorrect flight calculations. Within minutes, the rocket veered off course, forcing NASA to self-destruct it mid-air! 💥 That tiny bug cost over $150 million in today’s money! A reminder that even the smallest coding errors can have massive consequences. 🚀💻 #codingisfun #funfacts4life #CodingFails #TechHistory
