Christian Living

Excerpts from CEFC Timothy Yeo's Sermon 20th Jan 2025 A. Introduction The Mars Climate Orbiter, launched by NASA on December 11, 1998, was designed to study the Martian climate and atmosphere. Unfortunately, on September 23, 1999, the spacecraft was lost during its orbital insertion. The failure was attributed to a navigation error caused by a mismatch between metric units used by NASA (metric units - newton-seconds) and US customary units used by the spacecraft builder, Lockheed Martin (imperial units - pounds-seconds). This error led the orbiter to enter Mars' atmosphere at a lower altitude than intended, causing it to burn up.  (Note: Newton-seconds measures impulse, ie, the change in momentum resulting from a force applied over a period of time. 1 newton-seconds is equal to 0.2248 pound-seconds) It's a fascinating yet tragic example of how even small errors can have significant consequences in space exploration. What about our Christian life? If we are not aligned to Go...
