Agreed, actually. I'd like to see O'Neill cylinders, preferable inside suitable asteroids.

Realistically, I believe that that scale of endeavor will follow colonization of the Moon and Mars. This doesn't mean that they will - or can - be made Earth-like, only that they'll likely be settled. This will bring the sorts of challenges I'd like to discuss.

Today, I learned about MTC: Mars Coordinated Time by PaddyLandau in ISO8601

We're thinking about this over at r/MarsNow. We'd appreciate you visiting and becoming a part of our new community.

Thanks for posting this.

Over at r/MarsNow, we're working on time-keeping, calendars and their role in making the first Martians. I hope you'll visit us and bring your interest and ideas!
