This metric "world vs the U.S." debate is entertaining. But I want to make sure I've got it straight: Americans are stupid for messing up one of the many space probes we sent to Mars because two different U.S. research and space sub-agencies used different measuring systems (of the 15-20 or so there are to choose from), causing that probe to crash. This in contrast to the genius of others who've settled on a single system for all such measurements in the many probes they've sent to Mars?
Just wondering...

Actually, the English/Metric problem was in the software coding. The programming code used one system when it should have used the other---splat.
