Concept Aquatic Rover May Explore a Lake On Titan

I'm going to complain here, because no-one else cares...

One of my pet hates is that when the media publishes a measurement, they will give both metric and imperial, and will calculate it to ridiculous significant figures.

For instance, this imaginary robot might weigh, you know, round about 100 kilo - which is 220.5 lbs! Yep, they know know the measurements to the nearest 10th of a pound, but coincidentally it happens to be a really round figure in metric terms.

Rant over. Feel free to ignore.
