They're fitting some ESA kit to the ISS and they've live footage of them working and getting guidance.  It's as mundane as wiring a plug but fascinating,  especially as it seems the male and female connections don't work so they're trying to sort that out.

Not watching this one. But I saw one years ago where the procedure checklist gave a value in newtons-meters but their torque wrench was in foot-pounds.

They had to wait while someone on the ground did the conversion.

Why are NASA still buggering about with imperial measurements on international space missions?

Not really man-on-the moon stuff is it, 60's was so much better. Bet they weren't allowed on Apollo if they couldn't operate a plug and socket.
