Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.79,0:04:28.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you keep moving 40 minutes every day,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.04,0:04:31.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,until soon you're coming to work\Nin the middle of the night --

Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.37,0:04:36.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right? So you can imagine\Nhow confusing that is.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.87,0:04:39.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hence, the Mars watch.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.54,0:04:42.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This watch has been mechanically --

Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.72,0:05:02.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Right? We thought, okay,\Nwe'll just have the time on our computers

Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.47,0:05:11.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because we weren't just\Nworking on Mars time,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.28,0:05:13.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we were actually living on Mars time.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.39,0:05:18.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we got just instantaneously confused\Nabout what time it was.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.57,0:05:22.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you really needed something\Non your wrist to tell you:

Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.53,0:05:31.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it wasn't just the time on Mars\Nthat was confusing,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.02,0:05:36.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we also needed to be able\Nto talk to each other about it.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.55,0:05:42.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So a "sol" is a Martian day --\Nagain, 24 hours and 40 minutes.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.21,0:05:46.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when we're talking about something\Nthat's happening on the earth,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.34,0:05:51.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, for Mars, we say, "tosol."

Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.30,0:06:04.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was just very confusing.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.95,0:06:07.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I remember someone\Nwalked up to me and said,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.18,0:06:10.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"I would like to do this activity\Non the vehicle tomorrow, on the rover."
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.63,0:06:16.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I said, "tomorrow, tomorrow,\Nor Mars tomorrow?" Right?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.58,0:06:21.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We started this terminology because\Nwe needed a way to talk to each other.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.57,0:06:26.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Tomorrow became "nextersol" or "solorrow"
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.42,0:06:30.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because people had different preferences\Nfor the words they use.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.06,0:06:38.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we have people who say\Nnextersol or solorrow.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:38.68,0:06:42.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then something that I noticed after\Na few years of working on these missions,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.14,0:06:47.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was that the people who work\Non the rovers, we say "tosol."
Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.48,0:06:51.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The people who work on the\Nlanded missions that don't rove around,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.18,0:06:54.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they say "tosol."\N[Different vowel sound]
Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.26,0:06:58.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I could actually tell what mission\Nyou worked on from your Martian accent.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.06,0:07:00.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.14,0:07:05.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we have the watches and the language\Nand you're detecting a theme here, right?.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.94,0:07:07.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that we don't get confused.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:08.56,0:07:12.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But even the Earth daylight\Ncould confuse us.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:20.58,0:07:22.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's going to be confusing as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:23.28,0:07:25.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you can see from\Nthis image of the control room

Dialogue: 0,0:07:39.03,0:07:42.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this also works\Nfor the house, for at home.
