- mikeyouse 7y agoGood lord, I’ve seen him on the broadcasts before but I had no idea that’s what his resume looked like. Incredible.
- JshWright 7y agoYeah, he comes across as a super unassuming dude in the webcasts, but he has definitely "been there, done that" when it comes to putting stuff in space.
- shmerl 7y agoWhich is great, so it would be good to translate that to public commentary with metric too :) Also, surprised to find so many downvotes here. I suppose some still oppose the metrication effort and want to prolong the usage of imperial units, but are too embarrassed to admit it.
