I've thought for close to a decade now that our perception of time slows down as we age. It brings up some interesting ideas for Sci-Fi - an AI could easily have a perception of time hundreds to thousands of times faster than our own. Oh how the days would go on. Plenty of time to dream up things!
The first million years would be the worst.
Then the second. They'd be the worst too.
After that you'll go into a bit of a decline...
The space station is at most 460km above the Earth
To put that into perspective, I'm in Springfield, about 200 miles or more from Chicago. When the ISS is directly overhead it's closer to Springfield than Chicago is.

No it's not.
I think 4 minutes is more like it. Seems like it should be a little closer to midnight.
I think it should be set at 12:43. That way it shows the correct time. Oh wait, 12:44.
