  1. also know as "1 micro-c", a perfectly fine unit.

  2.  @wodthehunter8145  but they screwed it up by 4 klicks or so, better to define the kilo-mile as Earth circumference / 24.

  4.  @SarmonOflynn  volume in SI is the root-hectare cubed.

  6. the joke was, at the time: What do Christa McAiliffe and Donna Rice have in common: They both went down on the challenger.

  7.  @SarmonOflynn  [[L^2]^(1/2)]^3 = L^3. It's 1 cubic hm, or a Mega cubic meter, or a Tera cc, or a Giga liter, or in my favorite unit: 10^51 cubic fermis. A cubic fermi is the size of a proton. I guess I prefer barns for area (10^-28 m^2)...the cross section of uranium atom.

  8.  @BaronBytes  if only we had 8 fingers. Sure, Rachmaninov would be hard, but the 2^10 vs 10^3 wouldn't be a thing.

  9.  @nagualdesign  how many acre-feet is that? And that is a real unit.

  10. what about landing at EAFB? It's a wee slower than the (321)? (that's the area code for KSC).
