You are allowed to say kilogram on the internet.

You're also allowed to say 2.2 pounds, and many (though not most) will understand.

You're even allowed to be a pedant, as I am often accused! :)

SpaceX aims to reduce that by two orders of magnitude with Starship. It will be a big deal if they can achieve it.

TIL for about ~$3,090, I could send a 40oz of Old English to space.

As long as it's set on a collision course with the Sun. Although I'm not sure the latter would survive.

Translation: 2.2 lbs is around 1kg

How have you come up with this number?

>For a SpaceX Falcon 9, the rocket used to access the ISS, the cost is just $2,720 per kilogram.
