For some reason I thought this was going to be about an alternative to daylight savings time and any suggestion of abolishing that always gets my interest. It's not though, it's about giving the moon its own time zone. Which is about that least exciting moon based news I've ever heard although I'm sure there's interesting technical challenges (which I sincerely hope I never have to deal with).
