Picard engineering tip: Use the metric system.
@PicardTips
NO!!!!!
There are two kinds of countries.
1. The countries that use the metric system.
2. The countries that have been to the moon.
@joshua @PicardTips
And they used metric to go to the moon
The Moon landings

Contrary to urban myth, NASA did use the metric system for the Apollo Moon landings. SI units were used for arguably the most critical part of the missions – the calculations that were carrie…

UK Metric Association
@joshua
At least the german scientists involved in (2) were able to do the conversions correct πŸ˜›
@PicardTips
@anduril @PicardTips
Yes, but if they had just left everything in a proper measuring system rather than converting to and from metric, they could have saved themselves a lot of time and work. They might have made it to the moon in 65 rather than 69.
@joshua
btw the Russians also use metric and they put the first man into space and probes onto the moon
@PicardTips
@anduril @PicardTips
It's a good thing that they do use the metric system.
Given that they had a head start, if they had been on the English system, they may have beat us there.
@joshua
your answers make me laugh, bless you for that
@PicardTips
@PicardTips "Warp"?
@tessarakt @PicardTips Sadly the metric system doesn't go beyond "c", unless you want to deal with imaginary length or imaginary time.
