The precision of the IPS is equivalent to focusing on a dime two miles away. The $60 million device, however, had bugs in its computer software and would not track properly. There was a brief moment when Astronomer-Astronaut Karl Henize shouted, "Hallelujah, it looks like it's working!" only to watch it wobble off target.
