Well imagine the confusion of setting a time for such
a visit.

I know. This is is precisely why I agree with those
physicists that claim that time is an artifact created
by "capitalist pigs" (whom I lovingly define as anyone
with more money than me) to get me and my "Marxist
comrades" (whom I lovingly define as anyone with less
money than me) out of bed at inconvenient moments to
go someplace and do stuff for them.

Hopefully by the time we have colonies on the moon, we
will realize that time is no more than the opportunity
window to strike while the iron is hot.
