Time travel for launches

I have heard on the forum about "time travel", which apparently involves closing down the game, changing phone clock settings and restarting the game at a future time. Is this possible with space launch, i.e. can you use it to deplete small value items such as solid fuel and non-powerful bolts. I've never tried time travel yet but would welcome any experience and advice, also any pitfalls, in doing so. Many thanks Stuart.

Time travelling is not useful when you are in a launch program or when your space ship is away.
In the program you will get a time penalty before you can use items to get space points again.
When your space ship it's launched time travelling will not change the time of the timer.

Time travelling can help you to collect space items from building like alien legacy. You can get a bit faster the items with 40/120/360 points. You can use time travel to get flights back in your airport quickly.
I've no bad experience with time travelling. But please make sure you first travel back in time and after that move the time forward till present. read the full thread in game help odd time travelling.
