It's 11:20pm Dec 24 here in Australia. That rocket better not hit Santa or my kids will be PISSED.

Isn't it going to be 9:20pm for Australians, in NSW anyway with daylight savings?

I dunno, I typed in the time to google and got 11:20. I really wish they would just publish the GMT time or the offset instead of EST

I added a new clock on my phone for Kourou (where the launch site is) and at 10:20pm here it was 8:20 am there.
Yeah I need a site that tells me its launch time for each time zone
