The most expensive character in the world was a hyphen "-" In 1962, NASA launched a space probe, the "Mariner 1", which had a mission to fly next to Venus. Just 290 seconds after launch, it veered off course, and NASA had to send a command to make it destroy itself so that it would not land in a populated area Later on, an investigation revealed that a hyphen "-" was missing in the probe's software, which issued the wrong commands The cost of the project was a whopping $18 million (about $170 million in today's value) #scaleap_story #scaleap

A small hyphen caused a big loss. Attention to detail is crucial in any project, especially in high-stakes missions like space exploration. This story serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough software testing and quality assurance procedures.
