when we start living on other planets:

- all date time libraries are going to have to be rewritten
- timezones will require you to specify what planet you're on
- will have to include / account for potential transmission delays between planets
- what will be the UTC for interplanetary comms - prob earth

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

For the sake of simplicity, everything will probably be indexed to the reference frame of the UNIX epoch timestamp on Earth.
