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

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.
