I would like to file an appeal to the ninth circuit court. As previously noted, I work on Mars time. A Mars day (one sol) is 24 hours and 40 minutes. So midnight Saturday did not occur until 12:40am. If you will notice, my post was accepted at 12:35am. So I actually beat the deadline by five minutes. Based on that, I am requesting reconsideration of the entry by the judges.
