I think what you guys are getting at is the small margin of error these guys work with, and the magnitude of the repercussions of those mistakes if they miss something. In everyday life it doesn't really matter if PI=3.14, but in the life of a NASA scientist not carrying PI to the 300th digit could be the difference betwen send a probe to Pluto or a probe mistakingly into Uranus.
