NASA at one point required vendors to do everything using the metric system.
Then dropped the requirement, saving $100,000,000
Later they launched a couple probes to Mars (with a multichip module computer I was involved in.)
Unfortunately, orbit was meant to be 50 miles up, but instead they put it in a 50 km high orbit.
As they say, the rest is history.
Once, we were told we would need to learn Japanese. Now, looks like it will be Chinese.
