- spaetzleesser 6y agoConsidering that one of NASA's roles is to inspire young people to enter STEM I think it would be important to promote metric as much as possible.
- lmilcin 6y agoI don't see how the choice here can promote STEM. Do you think kids find it sexy to talk about meters, kilograms and degrees Celcius rather than feet, miles, pounds and Fahrenheit? I can't fault for choosing what is more understandable to the target audience.
