Yes, hey, I had a long break from SDC so you could breathe free air without communist tension, but the good days are over! *muahahahahaha*. Anyway to the topic:
Why do people say that metric system is cheaper than that imperial system (you know, lbs, feet and so on)? It makes no sense to me. I mean, they are units, what difference would it make if you sent to space 20 kg rock or 60 lbs (I think its around the same) rock? I mean it DOES weigh the same except its measured in different units. Can someone explain this to me why is metric system cheaper?
PS. Yes I know that would be better topic for freespace, but it is about units which fits into physics, about costs so to space business so I decided to post here.
