Friday 6:30am UTC, with first burn at 8am and then second at 8:43am. (That's Friday 4:30pm, 6pm and 6:43pm for Sydney-siders. :D )

- ColinWright 14y agoDo you mean Thursday?
- johnchristopher 14y agoI wished worldwide events were announced with local time and some unique universal time the whole world would agree on (gmt ? umt? utc? sw@tch ?) that could easily be converted once you know your location's offset. It would make my life easier. edit: man date date -u jeudi 24 mai 2012, 11:00:31 (UTC+0000) TZ='America/Los_Angeles' date jeudi 24 mai 2012, 04:00:55 (UTC-0700) date --date='TZ="America/Los_Angeles" 11:30pm' vendredi 25 mai 2012, 08:30 (UTC+0200) Might be handy to keep that under my belt for future references. Of course events reported or announced at the time they are happening are going to throw me off by a day.
- ColinWright 14y agoMy point is that he said: Friday 6:30am UTC, with first burn at 8am and then second at 8:43am The burns took place on Thursday 8am and 8:43am UTC. Many NASA and SpaceX announcements do include UTC times, although not all. I also wish there were consistency, but it's not as bad as you seem to be implying.
- ash 14y ago"...am UTC" sounds awfull for those of us who don't use am/pm system. And we are the majority!
