Here we are in the 21st century with a history making President who
promised change.
I just heard that NASA intends to stay with the un-modern, un-
scientific, incoherent, 19th century English set of measurement units
for its Constellation program, the program that is to replace the
space shuttle. I AM POSITIVELY ASHAMED that this country continues to
fumble and bumble along -- one step forward, two steps back -- when it
comes to changing to the internationally recognized system of units we
call the metric system! HOW MUCH MORE inefficiency and loss of
capital do we have to endure before my government decides to fulfill
its responsibility to establish weights and measures, as specified in
the Constitution, and finally adopt the SI measurement system? The
USA and two other third world countries are the only three that have
yet to do this. MAKE THE CHANGE and tell NASA NO to English
measurements going forward.
PLEASE!
