Faster Cheaper Splat started in 1992.

Your list had only 1 NASA "bug" prior to that in 1962.
I don't remember if the 1996 prototype rocket explosion was NASA itself
or a third party supplier like the Challenger booster rocket.
After NASA went AGILE, you can see how the list ballooned despite
smaller budget and fewer missions. Hence the industry rebranding the
strategy faster-cheaper-splat in honor of the Mars polar lander where
automated unit tests, just there to check a box like all AGILE
development, tested one component using metric values and the other SAE
yet the 2 had to communicate. This entry in wikipedia is incorrect.

NASA Mars Polar Lander <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Polar_Lander>
was destroyed because its flight software mistook vibrations due to
atmospheric turbulence for evidence that the vehicle had landed and shut
off the engines 40 meters from the Martian surface (December 3,
1999).^[11]

"We're going to look at how was the data transferred," Gavin said. "How
did it originally get into system in English units? How was it
transferred? When we were doing navigation and Doppler (distance and
speed) checks, how come we didn't find it?"
AGILE is how they didn't find it. Every increase in speed comes with the
price of a dramatic decrease in safety and quality.

yes, indeed;)
