While most of America insists stubbornly upon the continued use of inches,
feet and yards to measure things, "everyone else uses the metric system,"
Bateman said. The space station measures 108 meters by 80 meters, but that
doesn't mean much to Americans. Tell Americans the space shuttle is the size
of a football field, and they'll understand, he said.
Bateman strongly encouraged anyone who "wants to be competitive, successful
and/or rich," to learn and comfortably use the metric system.
