The moon's day length is so long that it wouldn't make any sense for any crewed mission to use it, they're going to need their own lights on an arbitrary 24 hour cycle anyway, so there's no reason not to have every future crewed mission there use the same one

Can't believe the US is putting trains on the moon before making them viable on Earth
i still think timezones were a mistake, and that they shouldn't exist period. I have a long thread about this from an earlier post about timezones as well amusingly enough.
I like it when i miss the train because town A's time is way off from toen C's time

i agree. the moon should suffer with all of us.
No link to the article in the picture?
Also, wouldn't it just be simple enough to make the Moon GMT, and be done with it?
Edit: This comment, that has a link to the actual government PDF, says it better than I.

You'd think so, but the problem is that because of gravity, clocks on earth and on the moon will very slowly run out of sync. Idk ask Einstein.

Please end timezones. We only need one universal one and that's it.
