For the science lovers: The roundest object in the world.

My only comment is: The rest of the world uses the metric (which is simpler) but Americans walked on the moon.

The roundest object in the world, an overfed liberal poititian.
Just look at Harry Nadlicker he cant even resist shitting his pants on camera.
What a useless waste of space and wouldnt even make decent fertilizer like the rest of his party.

wonder how well that would or could be used as a cannon ball would it fly better than the average cannon ball the same or worse , I am just a huge fan of cannons or anything loud that goes bang , still pretty cool . Like the base ball that they got to go mach 1 than splat using an air cannon or the bb they got to over mach 4 .

So I spent 10 minutes watching that video. Turns out it’s super old, and now I need to know if they ever utilized the featured silicon orb to redefine the weight of a kilogram.
To the search engine!!!

Edit; for anyone curious, apparently they switched the weight of a kilogram over to this standard on May 20, 2019.

Scientists Are About to Redefine the Kilogram and Shake Up Our System of Measures

After more than 100 years of defining the kilogram according to a metal artifact, humanity is preparing to change the unit based on a constant of nature

I worked at that site for the National Measurement Institute of Australia. It's a shame that a lot of the skills and experience which assisted that project are no longer there.

Operation Paperclip.
Scientists snaffled by America, assisted greatly in the moon landing.

Pretty awesome video and good bits of knowledge along the way. Good thing we use Avoirdupois (oz, gr, etc) in reloading
