- ivan_gammel 3y agoIf we will standardize time on solar system level, we’ll probably have another component of time, rather than a flat list of time zones. E.g. Mars should have its own set of zones. Maybe that means having an identifier of coordinate system, which can be omitted in local use cases.

They've already made an absolute mess of the Earth based timezone database. > Would it just be "Space/Moon"? More problematically, how would you define it's coordinates and country code, which are fields in the tzdb for each timezone?
