LOL. The toolbag was worth $100,000 dollars. Someone's getting fired.

Dude an entire Mission to Mars was a total failure for BILLIONS of dollars because someone did their measurements in standard measurement instead of the metric system, it threw them off by like a millionth of an inch and they would completely miss that way.

10 years of work, Billions of dollars and man hours GONE.

But hey, it's only our tax dollars going to build weapons satellites... you think a tank of liquid oxygen really costs that much? Negative.

Yeah, apology accepted after seeing that video haha. I'm surprised the bag isn't tethered somehow to the ship.
