White House wants Moon to have its own time zone

The White House has put forward a proposal to create a new time zone specifically for the Moon. This would allow for better coordination of activities and operations on the lunar surface.

The idea behind this proposal is to have a separate time zone for the Moon to avoid confusion and ensure that all operations are carried out efficiently. Currently, missions to the Moon operate on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), but having a dedicated time zone for the Moon could streamline operations and make scheduling easier.

The proposal is still in its early stages, but it has garnered support from various space agencies and organizations. If implemented, astronauts and mission control personnel would be able to operate on a time zone specifically designed for the Moon, making it easier to plan and execute missions.
