Well, it appears that the Constellation program ... which reuses
Shuttle parts ... wants to reject the metric system, and that the
Chief Engineer supports that, but the IG doesn't.

It isn't clear what other programs do or don't reject the metric
system.

Some elements in NASA may want to, but they're not getting their way by
the looks of things, so it's not true that NASA is rejecting the metric
system.

I think we should reject the American payroll system, and simply stop
making payments to those employed and/or funded by our NASA.
