Coordinating time-zone issues between remote meeting participants on a single celestial body is complex enough. >smile<

  That gives me so many questions: Should there be a non-Earth timezone? How do you define a "day" in space? Is there a day light saving in space? At least they are not travelling near the speed of light. That's a whole different can of worms.

    > At least they are not travelling near the speed of light. That's a whole different can of worms. Oh, they're building software and hardware for this anyway. The differences between earth clocks and moon clocks (CotS) would lead to large errors if you were to calculate distances. There was an article about this a while ago. Fascinating stuff.
