Ok, I did not find an article on extended times (past midnight) from NASA but you can indeed find references that confirm it is a thing they do, e.g. from this page:

@sotolf Then again the Americans are already scared of the 24 hour clock. If we push for the 30 hour notation I think they might lose it altogether.

But… they did give us Trump, so I am not adverse to making them feel a little uncomfortable. 🤷

Here's an idea. Many smartphones and watches have sleep trackers. If your smart device knows you have not slept yet, should it list the time with this 30 hour system?

I mean if you stayed up late and decided to go to a club it might help if your watch used the same notation for closing times as the place you want to get into, right?

Especially if you are a little drunk as it requires less thinking. 🤔

A nice comment/observation from @th

"@ruari the GTFS spec uses this for transit system https://developers.google.com/transit/ "

Something similar was also pointed out to me by @hananc, " In Israel, there is a bus that leaves at midnight and a half. In the timeline it says 24:30 of the previous date so people are not confused which midnight and half it leaves at."

Another useful comment from @hananc, "it is mentioned in this wikipedia page…"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_clock#Times_after_24:00

which in turn also links to

@ruari @hananc
A new item for "Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Time", I think?
