I noticed that and was about to comment here myself. There's enough
"metric" going on in that show to make it unlikely to be a fluke. No
other prime time show I know of uses metric as frequently.
Also, the show continued to the point where the Galileo 5 mission
stopped communicating minutes before an expected landing. I almost held
my breath to see if they would find that a unit mixup caused a crashed
landing. Looks like I'll have to wait until next week to find out.
