    It really is scary. Imagine you're traveling, how will the time zone as you're going there? The flight would take about a month I think according to latest info from SpaceX. Do you keep using earth days? Will we have 2 dates? What if things need to sync? Fuck.

    It would probably end up using ship time I.e. The time zone used by the country that owns the vehicle and stick to earth units days, hours, etc.
