There’s an easy solution nobody seems to be considering. We put rockets on the moon to continually adjust its orbit in order to preserve perfect adherence to a 24-hour solar day.

Hell, once we’ve perfected this technique we could even use it to gradually pull us into a perfect 365-day year! Or better, 364 days, which is evenly divisible by 12 (edit: oops, 13) months.

I'm glad to see someone tackling the problem head-on instead of just coming up with workarounds.

   364/12 = 30⅓
I wouldn’t call that much better. :-)
Whoops, I meant 13!
