Martin RundkvistI can't overstate this. NASA's use of pounds and cubic feet in its outreach efforts does not come across to science-literate people, inside or outside the US, as a sign that the country is a badass superpower that can do what it likes and ignore everyone else.
Instead it suggests that the US is a provincial nation of dungaree-wearing banjo players.

"To be fair, their marketing team deserves respect. Naming a classified military network OPENSPACE is right up there with Greenland, Full Self-Driving, and the Patriot Act."
The open.space here being the folks with the very interesting scalable 5.7GHz band SDR antenna array thing, suitable for EME with enough units
