Does this mean that Ernst Lange and possibly other Germans who worked for NASA in its beginnings, including von Braun himself never really used the English system to design the rockets that put man on the moon?
 
I've been told by opponents to metric that it was feet, inches and pounds that put man on the moon.  What I'm interpreting here is that they may have used the metric all along only did conversions to the English units at the end.  Thus the thinking processes that went into the design and operation of the rockets was metric and not English after all.
 
Can anyone verify this?
