quixotron said:No, it just shows my contempt for the lack of standard measuring procedures. As a practicing RF engineer, it is very petty and frustating when I have to convert mm to milli-inches to micrometers for no apparent reason.

It doesn't prove anything, is anal and is just plain stupid. Proof?
That's just wonderful how they spend so much money on trying to find out about other planets while we destroy this one, i think i just rofl in my pants.quixotron said:No, it just shows my contempt for the lack of standard measuring procedures.

Mars Climate Orbiter (MCO) was launched on 11 December 1998 only to crash because of some stupid mixup with newton seconds and pound force seconds. Result? 128 million dollars down the drain.
I hope every engineer on the NASA JPL staff got fired for that one.

The best way to preserve this planet would be to leave it. Without space travel we will never be able to do so.
How much condescension did you expect at 138K?Torben said:Man. All that condescension, and then you want it in an archaic, arbitrary unit system only used by a small fraction of the world?
I guess we are screwed, because there is nothing else habitable that we know of. Time to pass out the mandatory birth control devices.Stephen Hawking figures we've got less than 100 years to get off this rock before we have screwed it up too much to live here anymore.
I have a very strange image in my minds eye right now. Is there any reason why you wouldn't be in your pants?crusty said:i think i just rofl in my pants.

why it was a disaster???
Australia did the same thing somewhere in the 60s or 70s with not to much problems
