From an article about some new space-ship thing that Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is making:
“The Blue Origin spacecraft, being built by Amazon.com billionaire Jeff Bezos’ new venture, will have VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) capability, according to the company’s FAA permit applications. It will be a cone-shaped vehicle about 50 feet tall and 22 feet in diameter at the base, and carry 3 or more passengers to an altitude of 325,000 feet”
Then some guy comes along and decides to correct it for metric units:
“The Blue Origin spacecraft, being built by Amazon.com billionaire Jeff Bezos’ new venture, will have VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) capability, according to the company’s FAA permit applications. It will be a cone-shaped vehicle about 15 meter tall and 7 meter in diameter at the base, and carry 3 or more passengers to an altitude of 99 kilometers”
And then this smartass follows:
“The Blue Origin spacecraft, being built by Amazon.com multi-hundradaire Jeff Bezos’ new venture, will have VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) capability, according to the company’s FAA permit applications. It will be a pointed-shaped vehicle about 8.3 fathoms tall and 2.17313508 x 10^-16 Parsecs in diameter at the base, and carry ~pi or more passengers to an altitude of 9.90600 x 10^14 angstrom”
