[USMA:11775] fall of MIR on CNN

[Han Maenen]

It is 0:650 when I write this e-mail and I am looking at CNN's program about
the demise of the MIR. It is a real ifp festival. Some of those interviewed
use SI, but CNN does not know what that is, evidently. You see a counter at
43.xxxxxxxxxx miles going down. Yes, very logical and rational to use
decimal fractions in ifp, just as logical as dividing the kilometer in
1024ths and 2048ths!

CNN did its vievers a very bad service. Once again we see the pretension
that all nations use ifp!
