Didn't realise NASA used GMT time... cool

[Jockgit64]

Holy Shit it failed to launch and crashed back down to the pad!!

[Flip]

I hope it was unmanned, right?

[GlobusDiablo]

I heard no injuries.

[Jockgit64]

Yeah unmanned thankfully, but a lot of Dollars were seriously injured.

They use Zulu time http://zulutime.net like the military... not that its just another name for the same thing.

[Jockgit64]

Thanks Deyn, I am familiar with Zulu Time, was in the Royal Engineers for 6 years

Didn't know NASA used it though.

Royal Engineers, fair play.

I don't know what Zulu time is. Enlighten me.

[Jockgit64]

It's basically UTC (Co-ordinated Universal Time, called UTC because of the French translation of it).

It is used by the Military to ensure that operations around the World can be carried out at the same time if needs be.

I think the Zulu reference is something to do with the Phonetic Z and zone time, though I could be wrong, maybe I should have looked it up before answering
