The Mars Climate Orbiter
(MCO)
In one of the all time great
engineering mistakes, NASA’s
partner, Lockheed Martin,
used English Standard units,
not the metric units used by

hit the Martian atmosphere at
the wrong angle and burned

Sponges are colonies of thousands of individual cells. The cells work together,
pumping water through the body of the sponge. The tall tube is in the shape of a
"chimney." This chimney is an exhaust tube, where the water pumped by the
sponge comes out. The sponge eats the plankton it filters out of the water as the
water is pumped through the body of the sponge.
