Today several of you posted messages about NASA's (specifically the Johnson Space Center's) arrogance about forcing FFU units on the space station partners. I also read today that the new Mars Odyssey probe will *still* use dual SI/FFU units (they just never learn, do they?). No one is going to take up this cause for us. I have included the postal address of NASA Administrator Dan Goldin below. Could some of you write to Mr. Goldin and urge him to complete NASA's stated metrication program? I can't write to him without possibly endangering my position at the Poker Flat Research Range (last year I wrote to him regarding an internal matter and got *much* more attention than I bargained for). Here is his address: Mr. Daniel S. Goldin NASA Administrator National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA Headquarters Washington, DC 20546-0001 USA I'm going to write to the Associated Press (their CEO and the editor of the AP Stylebook) regarding the AP Stylebook's metric usage guidelines and the fact that most AP reporters flagrantly disregard it. I'll include photocopied examples of "incorrect" [as per the AP Stylebook] metric-only AP releases. Jason
