Let's list them?
You probably should check out what measurement system SpaceX uses BEFORE you make stupid comments. Just sayin...

Oh, I forgot!

SpaceX has put men on the moon.



Now as to NASA?
They did use some 10ths to get to the Moon.
Inches, feet, and miles too!
They supposedly went all foreign BS about a dozen years ago.
Because the other countries can't do fractions.


I really don't see the big deal.
Either system can measure whatever, the metrics system is easier to calculate,
but cumbersome in other applications.

Our system becomes a unit of tens once you start being precise.
By using decimals. Ever use a machinists ruler.

Which is what happens with metric also.



I'll never use metric, probably.
We use inches and pounds at work. Even for export to Europe and Asia.
Sometimes we have to convert kilos, but we still work in pounds.

I'll never think, "My crank is 25cm long".
The mind just knows 10".

10" huh...
That's why women make poor carpenters. They think the length of their index finger is 10" long.

Twas a Toolmaker for forty years. With GM being a global company we had equipment that was manufactured in Germany, Spain and Japan. Metrics was a big nothing burger, I could bounce from imperial to metric and back again at will. While I had metric taps and reamers I used imperial tooling on a cnc mill and set cutter comp when doing precision milling on metric dimensioned parts.
