Metric vs Imperial

But is it really going to be worth it?

Yes. No conversion errors for the naval and aerospace industries, and people wouldn’t care. Which is better: People not caring and rockets failing or people not caring and rockets being much safer?

The rocket incident happened once.

no, but the pilot was a hero on that flight. Very professional, could’ve ended MUCH worse.
