    1. Why miles/hour? Why not proper units like km/second?2. Why still this “duckspeak voice”? sound quality from the crew? Is this done on purpose to create a “heroic” atmosphere? Surely, as Skype shows, excellent voice quality is possible nowadays on quite small-band networks. And this is NASA, which can surely afford reasonably broad-band communication with its spaceships.

    1. Who said km/second is a “proper” unit? They selected the miles/hour standard, and I’m pretty sure they have good reasons for it.2. Because it actually works in space!? Since a normal radio frequency connection wont really work out there, so they’ve other technology that DOES actually work at those distances and outside the worlds atmosphere. And well,? let’s not start about Skype shall we? It’s not like they can connect to 3G/HSDPA or some kind of *stable* TCP/UDP conn.

    @geertjohan We all know the foot (mutiple feet = miles), thumbs, ears, dicks and all? other bodypart measurements from the Empire system is outdated for two centuries. However, changing to SI system was tried in the 80′s and failed. The danger still exists in the mixed usage of both systems as I recall there was some space mission going haywire by the usage of Empire in stead of SI.
