1/3 = .333…
1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1
.333… + 333… + 333… = .999…
.999… = 1

For wood working yes.
For a space launch maybe no?
This is an artifact of the notation system being used (base 10).
There’s no difference between the object 0.999… and 1. They’re two ways of writing the same thing.
Infinity numbers are weird. .9999… is 1 as long as there is no end. Same as 0.000… is 0 as long as there is no 1 appearing. 1-0.999… is 0.
.999… = 1
