NASA will coordinate with U.S. government stakeholders, partners, and international standards organizations to establish a Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC)
No time is universal because time moves at different speeds under different gravity. The point of this initiative is to be able to accurately measure time in the moon’s lower gravity.
Isn’t UTC meant to be… you know, universal?

Yeah, the time drift between the earth and moon is small, but it’ll noticable for latency-sensitive software.
God, I’d hate to be the dev that has to deal with relativistic time zone conversions. What a fucking nightmare that’d be…
