  2593m/s or 2.6km/s. Not sure if they're more common in the industry, but they certainly are in Kerbal Space Program.

  Would this be its speed relative to the moon?

  Also, > 3 tons of space junk, a punch that will carve out a crater big enough to fit several semitractor-trailers These are likely US tons, so 2722kg. I'm not sure about the SI conversion of the semitractor-trailer units. > scientists expect the object to carve out a hole 33 feet to 66 feet across Oh, so 10-20 meters :-)

    > 33 feet to 66 feet across I loled at this. It was so obviously 10 - 20 meters. Should probably just say "About 50 feet in size"

    > > 3 tons of space junk, a punch that will carve out a crater big enough to fit several semitractor-trailers > These are likely US tons, so 2722kg. Earlier reports put the mass at explicitly "4 metric tons" [0][1], so it is a bit of a guess either way. > I'm not sure about the SI conversion of the semitractor-trailer units. Are we talking Arizona trailers, normal NA trailers or international-compliant sizes to begin with?

  5040 knots, aka nautical miles per hour. Because if you are using miles, use the only ones that matter (in aerospace).

  to put that in perspective, that's 4.5 sunradii per fortnight, or .55 AU/year
