The Powerpoint Engineering Measurement System (or PEMS) is the primary system of units used by aerospace engineers at NASA.
Fundamental units
- Distance: Feeters
- Mass: Fuckton
- Time: Attwater (the time it takes a Prairie chicken to be eaten by a hawk)
Other units
- Mile
- Pound force - which is equal to a fuckton feeter per attwater squared. One pound force is approximately equal to 4 Newtons (depending on your altitude above mean sea level.
