"USA-based Spacex broadcasts Spacecraft launches on the"

I find that quite irritating when I happen to
watch a SpaceX launch. SpaceX is free to use whatever
units of measure they wish, but seeing as they are
in the USA they ought to respect the culture here
and at least show the English units alongside
the metric. There is no reason for not doing it.

Musk likly thinks in metric consideration where he is from. It is just a different way to call something that is the same. Now where is my 10mm socket?
