if anything it should be stardate as the united federation of planets agreed to
This is the way.
The moon gains a few seconds every year relative to the Earth due to relativity. Otherwise, yeah, there would be no reason for a new zone.
Its UTC or you gonna have to find a new programmer !
Indeed, God help whoever NASA puts in charge of date and time conversion.
If we do a lot of space travel we'll have to get used to this, though. And even worse, there's no consistent way of defining a frame of reference not subject to gravity, so there's a chance any standard one will fall into a black hole, which is funny because it's a tangible thing destroying a concept.
Nah dog, its gonna be UTC. End of story.
