        That was the most confusing discussion I’ve heard in a while. Don’t even know what the initial question was. Had to rewatch the video

        What’s the difference between 6 and 7/8t and 7 and 1/4

        The initial answer of 3/8 was right, but then he changed it and I just got confused.

      Okay so NASA lost a $327 million Mars probe because said was transmitting trajectory corrections in the SI Units of Newton-Seconds, but the home base software was interpreting and calculating it as Pound Seconds.

      Remembering that there was endless amounts of scientific equipment aboard that took years to make, and the whole enchilada took 10 months traveling through space before it could even crash.
