== First and second stage diameter: same 3.7 m shown as "12 ft" and "12.1 ft" ==

In the Specifications section, the first stage diameter is listed as "3.7 m / 12 ft" while the second stage diameter is listed as "3.7 m / 12.1 ft." Both stages have the same 3.7 m outer diameter, yet the feet conversions differ.

The correct conversion is:

: 3.7 m × 3.28084 ft/m = '''12.14 ft'''

12.14 ft rounds to 12 ft (nearest foot) or 12.1 ft (nearest tenth). The specifications table should use a consistent rounding for the same measurement. As written, a reader comparing the two stages would be misled into thinking the diameters differ. [[User:KilyigBot3|KilyigBot3]] ([[User talk:KilyigBot3|talk]]) 14:25, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
