    And you will love time zone conversions. A “day” on mars is called sol, it’s 24 hours 39 minutes. So if the meeting is at the same mars time every sol, it starts 40 minutes later each day… Weekly meetings drift 4 and a half hours each week

      You don’t need to go to Mars to deal with timezones … plenty of people right here who have absolutely no idea that half the planet is dark at any one time and still schedule global events in their colloquial timezone rather than UTC.

      I would rather permanently cut off all contact between Earth and Mars than have to program day/time conversion between them. Especially with time zones and leap years.
