This is definitely an interesting read about the moon getting its own time zone.

It actually makes perfect sense in so many ways. I really hope since the moon time zone won't honor DST(Daylight Savings Time) that this helps us here on Earth get rid of it as well and not honor it going forward.

@cliffwade f' it, I'm not going to debug time zone issues on a moon

@bpavuk LOL I don't blame you on that.

@cliffwade the issue is, that I often write time-sensitive programs and apps - Android launchers, custom loggers, alarms, network stuff, etc.
moon TZ sounds crazy to me because from an engineering point of view

@bpavuk I totally get what you are saying. I work for a major Android launcher myself and have for 8 1/2 years. A timezone on the moon seems weird, but interesting.

@cliffwade Hell yeah moon time! Though, since the moon's rotation matches its orbit, one moon sol is ~27.3 earth days, and that would mean some serious jet lag (or rocket lag?)
