Just read CNN's report of NASA's Mars exploration revamp. It uses only SI to
describe the Reconnaissance Orbiter resolution

Whereas NASA's own web report uses the barley grains (cm) format.

Does this mean CNN went to the trouble of getting rid of the inches?  I sure
wish NASA would get with the program.
