Why must time be be earth centric? Imagine how hard it must have been for Copernicus to convince everyone to use his model. Lazy programmers isn't as compelling argument, but it has similarities.

Non-rhetorical questions: Does the Mars Curiousity rover use leap seconds? Does it have Martian time too?
- lutusp 14y ago> Does the Mars Curiousity rover use leap seconds? Does it have Martian time too? Both the Mars Curiosity rover, and its operators, use the Mars day duration (which is 24h 39m 35.24409s), but with time measured in "normal" seconds. The JPL people directly responsible for this project even switch to a Mars clock in their personal lives.
