Reaction wheel torque is listed as measured in kilonewtons, when the proper unit is kilonewton-meters.

As mentioned in the title, any part with a reaction wheel (that is, the reaction wheels themselves, and command pods/probe cores) lists the torque as measured in kilonewtons, when I am fairly sure the proper unit is kilonewton-meters.

All the parts that have some sort of reaction wheel seem to have an incorrect unit of measurement displayed in the part description.

The torque seems to be measurend in kilonewton, which does not make sense, instead of nm (newton-metres).
