    Will the clocks still go back and forward an hour to help the farmers get up early though?

    Will your lunar server have the UTC or LTC clock?

    I’m trying to understand the use case.
    Day + night on the Luna have length of ~ 30 days.

      Time moves at a different speed due to the moon’s reduced gravity. It’s not just the length of a day.

        I’d assume that’s already a bigger problem for satellites in geostationary orbit then?
