*Same time as it is on the ISS and near Saturn,
one hour behind the time in London.

Got any more stupid questions?


Nope. These are still ganged to the concepts of time ON EARTH. When we
LEAVE Earth and work on an other planet, we can not keep the LOCAL
PLANET'S time with Earth concepts. A new 'day', and 'year' have to be
worked out. It's NOT a trvial question. Come to the lecture.
