Did you know that the time on the International Space Station is set to Greenwich Mean Time, the same as UK time.

They were originally going to use the time in Houston, Texas which is GMT -5. But the Russians wanted Moscow time which is GMT +4. They settled for London time as a compromise.

Actually, the ISS uses UTC, not GMT. GMT is a time zone, UTC a time standard.
