Two more, which are speed measurements on your HUD:
Mm means megameters, which is equal to 1000 kilometers. Hence, the speed measurement "Mm/s" is megameters per second.
A lowercase "c" is the speed of light. So measurements like 0.15c is 15% of the speed of light, etc.

They were in the spreadsheet, I just hadn't updated the post here (it has to be formatted manually
). That is now done, thanks for reminding me to update!
