On the Metrology Forum I subscribe to, a participant posted an allusion
to an early Space Wars disaster during Reagan's term. Apparently, the
ground controllers for the land-based laser used one kind of mile (or
other unit of measurement) and the target satellite people used another
kind of mile during one of the system's first tests, resulting in a wide
"miss" by the laser beam. Does anyone recall or know anything about this
alleged event?
