Also everybody using the same unit would avoid mishaps like the Mars Climate Orbiter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Climate_Orbiter One engineer used miles, the other kilometers. Nobody checked. It crashed. |
Yeah, but those scientists constantly work with the metric system it wasn't because they were not used to working with it . It was because of simple human error.
