Huh, neat paper.

Also, I had no idea that relativistic effects would cause a whole 56µs/d drift between a clock on Earth and one on the Moon, somehow I would have expected the difference to be smaller

200 milli seconds a decade

Oh yeah it's not like it's a lot lot, just more than I expected

It's enough that clock drift still might be an issue.

Clock drift is an issue for GPS satellites.

It's an issue for all clocks, just more noticeable with gps.
