James Wright had a bad day after he invented a failed rubber substitute and someone else sold it as Silly Putty and made millions. Donald Currey had a worse day when he killed the oldest tree on Earth. But US astronomers had the worst day when they didn't convert their measurements into metric, causing the Mars Climate Orbiter to crash!
