Perhaps it's considered more patriotic to reject scientific units?

I don't understand why they reserve 6 digits for the speed in mph either. Are they expecting it to go beyond 99,999 mph?

Do they also report the speed of light as Walmart parking lots per standard commercial tv break duration?

Edit: as an Amazon product it would probably use Amazon(tm) cardboard box unit as the length metric and standardized warehouse drone toilet break as duration.

You're trying to break free of Earth's gravity well, so you might as well use Freedom Units.

Do you count them as Freedoms per second or is time included in a Freedom?
