Some people are misinterpreting this tweet. In fact, the conversions are correct: • 6.6 m/s = 14.7638 mph https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=6.6+m%2Fs+to+mph • 6600 km/h = 4101.05 mph https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=6600+kmh+to+mph Issue: OP searches for "km/s", but Google lacks "km/s" for speed conversion, so they convert from m/s & km/h. Probably not a new issue.
