Why, oh why, does NASA continue to use British Imperial Units of Measurement? Science agencies should be using scientific measurements. For this particular video, using SI would *not* have changed the scope of the size of the Sun or the measure of heat (millions of degrees F is still millions of degrees C). Using metric measurements would measurably *help* science educators share these important resources with their students -- we should not be the business of translating arachic languages.
