    You could but you would need to redefine the second, no? I mean time runs slower on the Earth than the moon, so yes you could synchronise the moon to UTC but then one second of UTC goes by on the Earth but 1.0…01 second actually goes by on the Moon.

    Unless you kept syncing up your clock, you’d soon find that Earth’s 13:42 is actually your 13:43.

      Yes, I said this in my post. Satellites do it, there’s no reason it can’t be done on the moon as well to keep in sync with Earth UTC. It’s math and physics — a problem that has already been solved.
