Distance in kilometers (suggestion)

Asked by Mariusz Kuźmiński

My proposal is: displaying distances to bodies (except stars) in "km" below
established treshold, i.e. 0,1 AU. For example, 1162 km looks more clearly than
0,00000777 AU:-) Alternatively, it may be displayed both in kilometers and AU. This
feature is not very difficult to be implemented, I suppose.

Why for Moon only? I thought just about simple converting one unit into the second one and displaying in other line.
