Science starts in school, where currently, children learn the "old" Gregorian Calendar. "Learning", in this case, means learning how to use it, not learning how it works. This is because the Gregorian Calendar is inherently inconsistent and illogical.

When learning the Lukashian Calendar, children make a direct connection with Astronomy, because the days and years correspond to actual solar Earth days and actual solar Earth years. This way, children don't just learn about the calendar, they also learn about Astronomy!

The Lukashian Calendar is easy to teach, because the mechanism is simple and consistent. Children can create their own dummy calendars, with their own years and days, allowing them to play with the mechanism and explore how it works. This is a much more natural way of learning, that leads to actual understanding, rather than just knowing how to use it.

The Lukashian Calendar embraces the fact that days and years have variable durations, instead of constant ones. The mechanism does not make any assumptions about how long a day or a year is, or how many days a year has.

This means that we can easily plug in the durations of days and years on Mars instead of Earth! When we colonize Mars (or any other world), we can just create an instance of the Lukashian Calendar for it and enjoy all of the benefits: it's simple, it makes sense and it's accurate! The API allows us to simply plug in the durations of the days and years in milliseconds, according to whichever definition of year and day we choose.

Colonizing a new planet means starting from scratch, with a greenfield. When we have that opportunity, let's get it right!
