Ask Ethan: How long until our calendar needs replacing? (bigthink.com)

Assuming a Mars colony is established over then next 40 years, and assuming it won't be entirely independent from Earth, my guess is that a new calendar will have to be established, that will be independent of any planet, of any specific planetary cycle (diurne, yearly, seasonal). A kind of stardate?
