As a very long-time viewer of PBS channel for many decades, I have been waiting for a day when NOVA programmes would finally adopt the metric system for a decimalised system of measurement over the British imperial system and the related US customary system.
It is well into the 21st century, so I request that PBS NOVA programmes adopt the International System of Units/Système international d'unités (SI) to encourage science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.
Also, I used to be able to watch NOVA programmes on the PBS website, but I now get blocked with the following error message.
We're sorry, but this video is not available in your region due to rights restrictions.

Thank you very much for your attention.
To whom it may concern
PBS NOVA, which advertises itself as the "premier science-documentary series" including renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, consistently uses only Imperial units despite my plea. Is metrication coming?
Meanwhile, this super-cheap sci-fi disaster B-movie says "100 meter". So, maybe there is glimmer of hope for the U.S.A. after all?
