Who in physics works in imperial? Research is solidly metric in the US.
The mars orbiter loss was due to a failure to perform the necessary checks etc to make sure the mission was on track. Continue reading the section about the failure report. The discrepancy had been noted by humans and had been brought up, but the concerns were ignored because they failed to fill out the correct paperwork, and NASA takes responsibility for the loss, and does not blame lockheed.

It wasn't expected to make money I'm sure. > was due to a failure to perform the necessary checks etc Which would have been unnecessary had they both used the same units. > and NASA takes responsibility for the loss, and does not blame lockheed. I did not mention blame, why did you bring that up? Point is, had they used the same units this failure mode would have been closed off.
