You know someone will eventually come along and say, "hey, with this I can
do long baseline radio telescope interferometry with Earth! It just needs
nanosecond clock synchronization."

Can the lunar nav system time hack be arbitrary? As long as all the lunar

Time, if it has some unknown and variable offset from GPS, why should lunar
users care? Perhaps for trans-earth injection burns you would want to know
the exact time at Earth, but even a few milliseconds of accumulated
systematic error vs GPS would not be a problem. Only _within_ the lunar nav
system do you need nanosecond lock-in, don't you?
