It makes no sense whatsoever and the US seem to be the only place in the world to use mm/dd/yyyy excluding a few countries in Africa (and even there it's not the most popular format):

And for this reason the ISO standard is yyyy-mm-dd, big endian just like writing numbers; and it sorts (numerically not lexigraphically) properly too!
I'll dub this "the year 10000" problem.
ps.: Thursday is also Jupiter's day, so it will probably prevail on any colony / permanent human station orbiting it/it's moons.
pps.: I hope they get over the stupid imperial vs. metric divide though.. that one is really annoying.

Other formats don’t make sense.
Because of the way you say it in English?
" English is the official language of 32 states; English and Hawaiian are both official languages in Hawaii, and English and 20 Indigenous languages are official in Alaska. Algonquian, Cherokee, and Sioux are among many other official languages in Native-controlled lands throughout the country. French is a de facto, but unofficial, language in Maine and Louisiana, while New Mexico law grants Spanish a special status."
Nothing that you have said has explained why anybody should make a change to the date format.
"Dates: Put the day before the month (eg: 12 April 2001)”
