So weird no one else put this in standard American times, considering its an American launch. 6am PST West coast 7am Mountain time 8am Central time 9am Eastern standard time

  Or perhaps a global time, such as UTC, given the global audience?

    I'm just recognizing the facts of the planet we live in. Lots of interested parties are in the US, so it makes sense to also simply add US times. Especially considering its a US company (hopefully) launching from US soil.

      I’m so surprised that a country who still clings to the imperial system would have any clue about UTC, the time standard that the rest of the world uses. The launch is scheduled to 1300 UTC, for us engineering folks.

        Its currently 6:10pm in Beijing. Its also 6:10pm everywhere else in China (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/china https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/china). Because that's a country that doesn't use the imperial system and still insists its the same time as the eastern capital no matter where else in the country people happen to be. Lets also mention that China is almost the same width as the US, probably larger to be fair.

        It probably pays off in efficiency. I was gonna say it must be weird to see solar noon at 3pm, or live in one of the western provinces and have sunrise at 4:30pm / sunset at 9-10pm for part of the year, but that describes life in the Netherlands too.
