How tall are you?

How tall are you guys?

 

[Suzy]

A little under 5'4'' (163 cm) for me! A handy size to fit in a Soyuz cabin, incidentally

 

[Kaito]

6'4" BABY!

 

[PhantomCruiser]

6' 2, HELP! I'm surrounded by short people... My daughter is almost 5' 8, and she's only 15. I'm afraid I'm probably too tall for most spacecraft, I'd be worried about banging my head on the overhead console, it was hard enough to crawl in and out of an S-3 cockpit. At least the P-3's had seats that slid fore and aft.

 

[eveningsky339]

5' 7", nice and medium.

 

[Artlav]

6' 9" if i got 204 cm right.
Buses and other public transport is quite undersized for me to fit in seated - the distances between the seats are usually shorter than the length of my upper leg bone.
Same for commercial airliners at all but emergency exit or business class seats.

Closer to 6'8", but either way - wow! Even doors would come close to causing you trouble (here a standard door is 2040mm high - minimum required by building code is 1980mm).

172cm (5'8") for me.

Can't we make such polls in SI units? I am no royalist and don't think the body parts of a deceased tyrant should be my measurement system.

Almost exactly 6' (184 cm in SI units)

I find human heights easier to visualize in feet, for some reason! (I otherwise use SI)

:hesaid:
Can someone convert 173cm to whatever units are used in this poll? Otherwise I can't vote.

Also: what is the importance of body length, except for fitting inside a Soyuz cabin?

I'm getting a brain freeze trying to figure out why 5'9 is followed by 5'10 and what's the conversion formula of this two units value to centimetres. Actually, it takes solving a system of two equations.

Ok (some minutes later), here are the formulae:

Lm = Lft/k + Lin/(12*k)

Lft = TRUNC(Lm*k)

Lin = 12 * ( Lm * k - Lft )

k = 1/0.3048

Lm for height in metres
Lft for the feet part of the height
Lin for the inch part of the height

 

[Urwumpe]

SiberianTiger: There are 12 inches per feet, so you need to use the term

Lin = 12 * (Lm*k - Lft)

(Or in units: [In] = [In/ft] * ([m]*[ft/m] - [ft]) )

to convert the fractional part of the height in feet into inches.

It is much simpler to convert degrees into "degrees, minutes, seconds".

 

[SiberianTiger]

SiberianTiger: There are 12 inches per feet, so you need to use the term

Lin = 12 * (Lm*k - Lft)

Right, thank you. Corrected. Never ever do math in hurry.

 

[tblaxland]

Well, judging by those last few posts it is no surprise that Mar Climate Orbiter failed

6.23 feet

GEZZ!!! :speakcool:

 

[Zatnikitelman]

6' 4" or 192.9 cm
Yea, there's only one car sold in the U.S. that I fit in. Just about all my height is from my legs. Waist up I'm about normal. And that's why I'll never be caught dead on a commercial airliner (among other reasons) and use Amtrak, or a boat.

Or, you could just type "173cm in ft" into Google...

I'm 6ft (182 and a bit cm), btw.

 

[the.punk]

I'm 176cm.

 

[astrosammy]

6 feet / 182 cm
