Software Bug Causes Soyuz To Land Way Off

Posted by timothy on from the in-post-soviet-russia dept.

howhardcanitbetocrea writes "A mysterious software fault in the new guidance computer of the Soyuz TMA-1 spacecraft was the cause of the high-anxiety off-course landing over the weekend, according to NASA sources.' Which is why I will never trust the Strategic Defence Initiative - the star wars project. It only takes one line of mistyped code in what will always be a beta release."

    So wait, (In response to Timbo's comment) You'll fly on a 777 or A320, trust your miltary w/ F-16s, and communicate using software guided Satellites, but you won't trust SDI because the software might be Buggy?

    WTF?
