RE: Rev vs Sv and you think we got problems!



A random thought for a Friday afternoon:

I was just thinking while reviewing old RADSAFE messages, that it's a good
thing this Mars accident didn't happen before Cassini came past again.  One
can only imagine the public interest in the metric system, both in distance
and in radiation.
