What I find interesting from a USMA perspective on  the ESA web site is that, 
even though it appears that the web pages are available only in English, all of 
the units that I've seen are strictly metric.

I can easily imagine a time 30 years ago when the web site would most likely 
include Imperial units for the sake of the UK and Ireland (firstly) and also 
for the US and Canada (secondly). So, thankfully, a lot of progress certainly 
has been made despite the issues still confronting us both in North America and 
the UK in progressing towards full metrication.
