When this comment gets 44 minutes old it's going to be T-0.

This comment was very helpful and exactly what I wanted to know opening this discussion, and made me chuckle on top of that, thank you!

Thank you, I was trying to convert Central Time to something understandable.

All their systems and logging are running in UTC, why can't they just give launch times accordingly.

Yeah, I prefer this "when this comment is XY old" format the most when communicating internationally. Closely followed by UTC, of course.

I hate having to convert from some time zone which I don't know by heart; with the additional risk of getting daylight savings or something wrong and missing the event.

reminds me of the classic joke: a man walking down a street, stops and asks another person if they know what time it is. The person responds: I'm sorry as I don't have a watch on me, but you see that car parked over there? when it explodes, it should be 5pm
