It’ll likely happen once we move to living mostly in space (if we survive that long ofc)

With a full switch to metric, hopefully. We’ve lost a Mars probe to unit confusion already.

No but everyone’s life will be easier. Fortunately, most space agency empoloyees are scientists who embrace the metric system because it is less error-prone and does away with arbitrary conversion like in3 / floz. Space civilians will hopefully follow suit.
Metric also has a different unit name for force (N) and mass (kg) as opposed to the ambiguous pound – which works well enough on Earth but not on bodies with different gravity.
