Orbital velocity Memes

Behold! The glorious collision of science and scientific illiteracy! What we're witnessing is an actual hypervelocity impact test showing the devastating power of space debris.

While Neil deGrasse Tyson shares a mind-blowing demonstration of kinetic energy (E=½mv²), our friend below is having an existential crisis over the metric system. It's like watching someone get splashed by a tsunami and complaining their socks got wet!
