I don't really understand freedom units but 40x60 feet sounds very wrong
No, 40x60 is correct. Vertical feet are shorter than horizontal feet due to gravity.
Don't give imperial units any ideas!
So you're saying I'll be much taller if I just become an astronaut? I'm moving to the moon, baby!
Much? No. But noticeably! I mean, until your eyeballs stop working...
I know this is about microgravity, but I gotta find some sort of sand to kick in your face for having dreams.
Ah, that makes sense.
I would assume 20x60
Could be, but my dad would get old billboards to use as tarps for hay. The hay barn roof leaked so we had to cover the stacks inside. The hay barn was 60x100ft and we would get tarps that spanned the width, so at least 60ft.
I think they're meaning the aspect ratio is not correct for 40x60. The sign would need to be taller for those measurements to make sense.
Ahh, yes, I did not catch that. Thanks!
yeah that looks like a 4:1 ratio or close to it
It's roughly 12x18m
I think it's about the ratio. 40*60 is 2:3, and this looks more like a 1:3 (3:1, if you like). It's much thinner than 2 squares * 3 squares.
Yeah okay I see what you're getting at now.
