Highway Signs

Highway engineers like Planck units because, like the speed of light, the energy capacity of a typical car's gas tank is 1.

"You legs may have a comparative advantage at running, but we arms have a competitive advantage at swinging hammers, so unless you accept that we're the dominant limbs and stop hogging the oxygen, that running advantage won't be around for long."

Launchpad

It does come at the cost of some launchpad expansions and increased fuel requirements, but that all comes out of the facility's budget.

Asteroid Mission

Lander, this is Houston. There's been a request that you turn clipping back on and instead set the mass to 1kg. The theorists believe that will be pretty funny.

Semaphore

The speed of light in air is 50% faster than in fiber, but it's a challenge to get the arms to move fast enough to realize the latency advantage.
