15. One of the most infamous (and notoriously
expensive) typos in history was made by
the last company you’d ever expect:
NASA.
In 1962, the space institution attempted to
launch Mariner 1, with the intention of
probing Venus. But after a decade of
meticulous planning, construction, and
calculation, a single hyphen brought the
craft to its imminent demise less than two
minutes after takeoff.
The omission of the hyphen, part of a code
that set trajectory speed, led to an
explosion that set NASA back $80 million.
Arthur C. Clarke, author of 2001: A Space
Odyssey, called it “the most expensive
hyphen in history.”

21. Here’s what happened: Topshop, the clothing giant,
commissioned a design company to produce a William
Shakespeare-inspired women’s t-shirt. After what we
can only imagine was a lengthy creative process, they
came up with the ingenious idea of recreating the
famous lines, “Romeo Romeo, wherefore art thou
Romeo?” on a t-shirt in fancy calligraphy. So far so
good…
The famous quote was signed by “Shakespere”, not
“Shakespeare” and the £20 t-shirts proceeded to go on
sale online and across UK stores bearing the grave
misspelling – cue lots of online mockery from shoppers,
a swift recalling of t-shirts and plenty of red faces at
Topshop HQ.
