That’s the rationale for the moon to have its own timezone.

Re Steve’s question, some speculation –

 

Different groups, in different locations, will be sending reports back from their locations.  It would be convenient to know that reports are coordinated — for example, in reporting moonquakes or observations of solar flares and solar wind.

 

My question is: Why should the US go it alone in setting up a time zone?  Wouldn’t this be a good time to make moon-based reporting an international, cooperative effort?  Moon “exploration” to date reminds me of “exploration” of the New World, beginning with Columbus’s voyages: different nations planting their flags and laying claim to turf.  Humankind ought to do better, now.

Curious why it is important to set up a Lunar time zone.  Why not align time there with GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)?  Wouldn't that work?
