The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets forty rods to the
hogshead and that's the way I likes it.

That does sound about right.

When I was in elementary school back in the dark ages of the 1960's there was a
push to change the U.S. to metric, they even taught us about it in school, but
'merica. Consequently I understand the ease of using metric vs. the pain in the
ass of the imperial system but my mind is trained to do everything in imperial.
There was a time in my construction years when I knew by rote the decimal
equivalents of eighths of an inch, 1/8 inch is .125, 3/8 is .375, etc.

Contrary to flogs meme, a quick web search will show you that NASA used both
the imperial and metric measurements systems in the Apollo moon missions. So a
country using the metric system did put man on the moon, the USA.

That's literally what it says.

Yeah I see that after reading it properly the 2nd time around.
There was a similar meme that said that there was only one country in the world
that didn't use the metric system that put man on the moon (USA), the countries
that have metric never did. I think that was the intention?

I linked to a more "concise" version of the meme to avoid stoopid
comments.
Oh well.

I'm anxious for next Monday morning when the first Artemis mission launches.
Hopefully the weather will be clear enough for me to see it from home. I've seen
many shuttle and other launches from here on the other side of the state but
never one of the moon launches, they were years before I moved here, and this is
supposed to be a more powerful rocket than the Saturn V rockets that launched to
the moon, the most powerful ever.

Nice. Would be cool to see a launch.
