NASA scientists turn body clocks to red-planet time
"More than 250 scientists working on the Mars Spirit rover mission are living on Mars time, a phenomenon that is creating one of the worst cases of collective jet lag on record. The time it takes for Mars to rotate on its axis is 39 minutes and 35 seconds longer than Earth's daily rotation, so scientists must adjust their schedule that much later every day to keep up with Spirit." posted by Farookh at 10:30 AM Comment (0)
