Comments on: NASA opts for a metric moon http://www.metricviews.org.uk/2007/01/13/metric-moon-says-nasa/ Commentary on the measurement muddle in the UK Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:05:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Daniel Jackson http://www.metricviews.org.uk/2007/01/13/metric-moon-says-nasa/#comment-1152 Sun, 13 May 2007 18:35:28 +0000 http://www.metricviews.org.uk/2007/01/13/metric-moon-says-nasa/#comment-1152 NASA isn't metricating because of any of their wisdom, but because they are being required to if they want international cooperation and funding. Thus they are doing it but aren't happy about it. NASA isn’t metricating because of any of their wisdom, but because they are being required to if they want international cooperation and funding.

It is a clear endorsement of the wisdom of a single rational system of measurement. It is quite telling that an organisation operating at the frontier of science and technology, who have to maintain the very highest standards of safety and security, should opt for metric only.
