LOS ANGELES (AP) — The $125 million spacecraft that was destroyed on a mission to Mars last week was probably doomed by NASA scientists’ embarrassing fail ure to convert English units of measurement to metric ones, the space agency said Thursday. The Mars Climate Orbiter flew too close to Mars and is believed to have broken apart or burned up in the atmosphere. NASA said the English-vs.-met ric mixup apparently caused the navigation error. The mistake was particularly embarrassing because the space craft had successfully flown 416 million miles over 9 1/2 months before its disappearance Sept. 23 just as it was about to go into orbit around the Red Planet. Agency officials said the mistake somehow escaped what is sup posed to be a rigorous error-check ing process. A report is expected in mid-November, which would be soon enough to fix any possible similar problems with a spacecraft already en route to Mars. “It does not make us feel good that this happened,” Tom Gavin of Part-time, 8am-12pm or 1pm-5pm.
