Small aside: I thought it was cool that they used Tg (teragrams) for stratospheric loading instead of the ubiquitous "millions of tons".
We all understand SI prefixes now. I wish people would stop using "thousands of kilometres" (geography) and "millions/billions of kilometres" (astronomy) and instead just use Mm, Gm, and Tm.
- MaxikCZ 4y agoI think hours are usefull, even if we could say "meet me there at 46 800 seconds tomorow". And Tg might be "pure", but to get any sense of how much it actually is I am still gonna convert it to tons in my head. Id rather people used appropriate scale of units for given scenario.
