    We already have a permanently inhabited base outside Earth (ISS) with effectively zero gravity and there might be one on the Moon or Mars in 100 years. We should pass treaties to only use metric in space – a probe has been lost to unit confusion already.

      On ISS it’s ≈.89g, but agreed

        I said “effectively zero gravity” for a reason – the term is “zero gravity” but I know it’s a misnomer.

      This is dated 2007. Apparently NASA is already using metric:

      NASA Finally Goes Metric

        I know, it has always used metric but the SW was by Lockheed Martin. Still, we need to convince potential extraterrestrial civilians.

          We will convince them by force if necessary. They will adopt the Metric or get barred from entering the space bar
