Reply to NASA’s DART data validates kinetic impact as planetary defense method | DART altered the orbit of the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos by 33 minutes by mepper
I have no problem with public funding for this type of experiment. But, isn’t it obvious that detonating a nuke at the right spot on the asteroid is the way to really make sure you are changing the trajectory?

Reply to What time is it on the Moon? - Satellite navigation systems for lunar settlements will require local atomic clocks. Scientists are working out what time they will keep. by speckz
No need for different time zones on the moon as has been mentioned. I’d say UTC would be fine. With Mars you have to account for the extra 36 minutes. Like in DS9 Bajor had a 26 hour day. So, they are going to need new clocks. If we ever establish Martian colonies I imagine clocks will be a very minor concern.

They do it in Europe and the Caribbean as well from what I’ve seen.
