Hardware or software? (Score 1)

This is a bit off-topic, the article does not say what happened but I remember in the 7th grade seeing a documentary about rockets and how when one rocket test went bad. The problem was the engineer or programmer forgot to end a line of code with a semicolon in the guidance software or something like that. This was some time ago but the mishap was dubbed "the most expensive semicolon in the world". How ironic would it be if the error was along the same lines.

I was surprised not to see a "In Soviet Russia..." joke, then again this article is pretty fresh.
