@sjb AFAIK aviation uses that to intentionally have 2 different data types:
altitude is always in feet, so ft/s would be climb rate / sink rate
horizontal distance is always in nautical miles, so ground speed & air speed are in knots, etc
But I don't see how that'd make sense in space
what's in ft/s?
