The Way Of The Future...
.
May I ask which magazine or book this paragraph if from?
I must admit though, for a mission to Mars timekeeping would probably be the least of their problems. How to keep the crew alive for almost two years? Oxygen supply? Power supply? Water supply? Food? Grow their own food on board? Recycle waste water to water food plants? How to minimise muscle wasting and osteoporosis during prolonged space flight? Lots of things to think about...

Thats just minor details, leave it to Elon! According to Musk we should have been there already. Tunderf00t on youtube has about a million videos on Musk and the time line of going to Mars. He is a bit tiresome to watch with all his repetitions, but I think his reasoning is correct, https://www.youtube.com/@Thunderf00t/videos
