Clamping would be tricky.   > Any suggestions as to a good, safe approach to cutting the plastic?   I have had good results on wood and countertop material with my HF oscillating Multi-Tool. The flat round "sawtooth" blade cuts very cleanly, with no chips. You can clamp a 3/4" board to the material being cut as a guide. Then just press the blade flat against the wood, and slowly move it through the material. It is slow, but very controllable, and low risk. It would very likely work just as well on plexiglass.

Which mission was it?   > <https://www.wired.com/2010/11/1110mars-climate-observer-report/>   It was an EU firm that created the software, and the mission was a joint mission managed by NASA. The loss was the 'fault' of the EU specifically. NASA was at fault overall as they were where the buck stopped, ultimately.

Looks like Lockheed Martin to me ...   "The primary cause of this discrepancy was that one piece of ground software supplied by Lockheed Martin produced results in a United States customary unit, contrary to its Software Interface Specification (SIS), while a second system, supplied by NASA, expected those results to be in SI units"
