Note to NASA: 1 inch = 2.54 centimetres exactly. Other things scale from there. 1 foot = 30.48 cemtimetres. 1 yard = 0.9144 metres. 1 mile = 1.609344 kilometres exactly. This should help next trip.

So, is it? ;-)

(Just my opinion, of course. Your mileage may vary. You have the right to be wrong.)
