It was not because "made-in-Russia" made it cheaper; it was because just one scientific genius there, the only person in the world, figured out the technology needed to control the burning rate on that huge scale. So it is still today, although I do not know about the Chinese. NASA already was on the way to metrication judging from how many metric training seminars I presented at various centers from JPL to Huntsvile AL at that time. Why the US did not complete the "phasin-in-metric" is still debated. I blame mostly schools, where the teachers, on all levels, taught conversions instead of the "system." Trying to sell my training seminars to teachers organizations - "oh we know all about the metric units. Get lost." Stan J.
