But, NASA has a global audience. At least have UTC as a secondary time.

Plus, the ISS' timezone is also UTC.

ISS circles Earth every ~1.5 hours, which is ~16 times per day, so it does makes sense to have UTC. Land however is fixed, with its own timezone. I second another answer, local timezone primary and UTC secondary is best.

I agree with local and UTC, as long as both are there. Local is useful for locals, but the audience of a landing is pretty much global.
