No-no, with "normal" I ment people who are not 'into' space history on daily
basis, so they are not so interested that they are going to convert every
psi to pascal And 'loose' a whole part of the information this way.
Well, thats all and I am sorry I cant explain it better, but ofcourse
English is not my native language. I need to convert every word ;-)





"Normal person", huh? You mean, some sort of "units snob?"

Well, since a good part of these "interesting topics" all use Imperial
measurements (the American part, of course), wouldn't it behoove you to
learn a few simple conversions so you can understand the discussion?
After all, a good many of us did so and can work fairly easily in either
system.
