    As a software developer, the last thing I want to see is another obscure timezone to deal with. It does seem like it’d be important to set a standard here though, and it’s unlikely to affect most software engineers anyway unless we start seeing colonization at some point.

    Also, in general, I can’t imagine how relativity will work with this kind of timezone conversion.

      Oh god.

      My service went down at timestamp x

      This message looks like a potential root cause and has a lunar origin

      the lunar box reports sending a message to me at timestamp y

      the relay station reports relaying said message from the lunar box at timestamp z

      Can you confirm the lunar message was sent at the right time to have been the cause?

      Do the logs on the lunar box come timestamped with a “helpful” string representation? If they’re in unix epoc, is that time dilation adjusted?

      How do satellites do it, I wonder?
