I wish temperature and distance would be measured in metric commonly. So far the most we get are volume and mass on packages.

There is exactly one building taller than this. So not only is your comment unconstructive, it's wrong.

I think reddit is way ahead of you. The amount of fanboyism there is ridiculous (I'm an admirer myself but some of the worshipping is crazy there).

They'd better try shutting engine down completely during flight and restarting it. That would mean much more than these hops.
