Oh, they're building software and hardware for this anyway. The differences between earth clocks and moon clocks (CotS) would lead to large errors if you were to calculate distances. There was an article about this a while ago. Fascinating stuff.
Coordinating time-zone issues between remote meeting participants on a single celestial body is complex enough. >smile<
That gives me so many questions: Should there be a non-Earth timezone? How do you define a "day" in space? Is there a day light saving in space?
At least they are not travelling near the speed of light. That's a whole different can of worms.

At least the proposal let's time-zones go away, since "day" is completely artificial:

As long as you're not in the shadow of some celestial body, the sun never goes away. So they'd need more nightlight saving than daylight saving.
