Rocket Goes Brrr: Decimal Place Showdown

Rocket Goes Brrr: Decimal Place Showdown

The sheer audacity of rounding π to a mere 60 decimal places! In aerospace engineering, precision is everything—each additional decimal potentially means the difference between landing on Mars or yeeting your billion-dollar spacecraft into deep space. NASA actually only uses about 15 decimal places for most calculations (3.141592653589793), which gives accuracy within the width of a hydrogen atom over a multi-billion-mile journey. So rounding to 60 places isn't just overkill, it's mathematical showboating of the highest order!
