So design the capsule as a glider just in case...

They are all just symbols. No single method is right or wrong, it just depends what is the "norm" where you are from.

I lived in Russia, and guess what- you are gonna confuse people by writing your numbers the "American" way.

Your options are to (in no particular order):
A: Get used to working with other cultures/systems
B: Get everyone you are working with to standardize to one system or another
C: Get away from any sort of global engineering and continue doing things the "American" way because that's how it's always been done

PS. I love the metric system, but I still have to put up with my company using standard most of the time.

Unsuitable for it's purpose? You can still wear it right? It didn't stop being a t-shirt did it?

Changing the orbital inclination should not even be on the same scale of fuel cost as changing the orbital altitude.

No. I've thought about it and have already spent over a year working professionally outside the US.

The county of Galveston opted out of SS and did quite well.

I have a job. I simply have no faith that SS will be around by my retirement and would rather not throw my money away.

23 year old mechanical engineer here, where do I sign out of Social Security?

Russia never stopped being a leader in astronautics. But nicely done slipping your agenda in on a compliment.

I read that as:

Russian (adj) launches (noun) delayed (verb) radiotelescope (noun)

instead of

Russia (noun) launches (verb) delayed (adj) radiotelescope (noun)

My brain inserting one little letter can change so much!

The ISS makes almost 16 orbits per day.

I have respect for Dr. Drew. He created a completely new format for helping people. They were comfortable calling a late night radio show anonymously but were embarrassed to see a doctor.

I think because they are making so much money from microtransactions- that they made the game itself free. You still have to pay for the items.

WTF kind of rule is that? Surely nothing in said boxes could ever be given to charity instead of thrown away! /sarcasm

Mine brought up topography of Iraq.

And how do you propose just letting one "fall" off? Are you suggesting that one of the crew repel up the cargo to somehow release the pins to a container, and then what? Have the captain create a large enough list for it to fall off?

Are you serious?
