Come on Jim wake up and smell the 21st century.

Moon landings for christs sake - many of those up here were't even born.

Though a wholesale US change to metric is unrealistic ( most US citizens 
being too dumb to be able to figure it out - troll ),  I recon you are up 
to the challenge.

At least if there was only one system NASA might be able to hit a planet 
instead of the CF that they just had.

Paul...( yea we drive on the left, but my missus gets it wrong 40% of the 
time anyhow ;)....
