Picard TipsPicard engineering tip: Use the metric system.
Green Roc Thoughts@PicardTips I agree. I heard of some jetliner crashes caused by the simple mistake of wrong measurements due to confusing maths between liquid weights.
Flaming Cheeto@PicardTips The metric system is miles ahead, bruv.
jonathankoren™@PicardTips just make sure you use the cgs system, not the mks system.

Yeah, wouldn't want to be compatible with decades of international agreement and scientific standard.

@ThreeSigma @PicardTips in the 24th century they measure force in dynes, not newtons
David Bramian@PicardTips baQa’!!! Metric is for smooth forehead COWARDS.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
There are two kinds of countries.
The kind that uses the metric system.
and
The kind that has been to the moon.

We all know Germany would have been first to the moon except for that fascist interruption.
German Scientists in fact got us Yanks to the green cheese in any case.
It’s becoming clear that a fascist interruption assures that today’s moon shot of sustainable industry and energy will not be led by the USA.
Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC@jCarttarBrooke @joshua @PicardTips I fear the Space Age will be over forever very soon due to the Kessler Syndrome. There are already too many satellites in orbit already, the current numbers of LEO satellites is entirely unsustainable, yet that dangerously rich and powerful idiot Nazi bastard Elon Musk wants to put even more up there. Even if we don't add any new satellites, sooner or later a chain reaction of collisions will make all future space launches impossible. We need to reduce the number of objects in orbit and then keep it as low as possible, only launching a new satellite after an old one has been deorbited. Just because there is no life in orbit doesn't mean we don't have to care about sustainability.
LibreKitsune@joshua @PicardTips Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think the Apollo guidance computer used the metric system

(I didn't know until now that the Apollo 11 source code is publicly available. That's neat)
