NASA Mariner 1 missing hyphen
Mariner 1 has a mission to get as close as it can to Venus. Due to one of the most expensive typos in the history, it had never reached the Earth atmosphere.
Why? A missing hyphen in the coding used to set trajectory and speed caused an explosion before it was launched. This fail cost NASA $80 million.
One missing hyphen! Think twice before typing something.

Are you interested in ‘erotic’ vacation?
In 1988, one travel agency made a mistake in the ad banner for the phone book. In the ‘specialization’ field, they wanted to put ‘exotic’ destinations, but made a typo – ‘eRotic’ destinations.
Hilarious fail, isn’t it? But it cost company tons of money as they lost half of their clients after this ad.

Typo in the URL
Every time when a person makes a typo in the URL, they enter the wrong website costing a lot of money of the original website.
On the other hand, the website you get to by an accident earns more on the ads. For instance, Google gets $500 million on the websites entered because of a typo in the URL.
