What's with the kilometers? Pluto was discovered by an American. It should be 12,600 miles.

Same goes for the Soviet-era names of surface features — pure BS!

What's with the kilometers? Pluto was discovered by an American. It should be 12,600 miles. So ... Americans should use a system formalized by an imperial power we cast off in 1776, rather than an international system we use in physics, chemistry, biology, electrical engineering (and many others) first introduced by our first ally in 1799?
Kinda reminds me of those feminists who "fight the patriarchy" by hyphenating their husband's names with their father's...
