Oh god.

My service went down at timestamp x

This message looks like a potential root cause and has a lunar origin

the lunar box reports sending a message to me at timestamp y

the relay station reports relaying said message from the lunar box at timestamp z

Can you confirm the lunar message was sent at the right time to have been the cause?

Do the logs on the lunar box come timestamped with a "helpful" string representation? If they're in unix epoc, is that time dilation adjusted?

How do satellites do it, I wonder?
