Establishing a standard time for the moon is necessary for the new era of lunar exploration. The moon, in June is stuck at high noon

How about just do what Science Fiction authors have done for decades - use GMT as the time zone for the Moon and other space activities. I honestly don't understand the reason this is so hard.

Probably right. However, all US time zones are listed as UTC-<hours>. I was thinking Daylight Savings Time shifts, which of course make no sense on the Moon or in space in general.

Just the next step on our (USA) relentless march towards socialism.

Dude… I use the actual definition of Socialism - “public or collective ownership of the means of production and the central planning of the economy”. I have no idea what definition you might be using…
We agree that the US has accomplished much since its inception. Since the US is closer to free market capitalism than socialism - capitalism must be the reason, right?
