I put the not in astronaut @iputthenotinastronaut - Tumblr Blog

So this is Tumblr!

Well, hello there! I found this app while scrolling through the Hail Mary's archives. Seems like it might be a fun place to mess around, 0G or not. So, if you have questions about science and space, I'll answer it. The ship's Wi-fi can be a bit splotchy, so responses may come with delays.

Be sure to see what information I know, and what information I'll share. I've got a PhD in molecular biology... but my climatology needs some work.

How are you? How’s Rocky?

Hello anon! Apologies for the delay. Me and Rocky are doing great! You want to see a picture of him?

He's pretty neat, right?!

He... literally looks like a rock. With legs. A scary space spider, if you will.

But we are on our way to Erid right now. It's going to take a few more months to get there, but we will. Then the Eridians need to figure out how to get me down to the ground without crushing me in their atmosphere.

I guess I'll probably be here on the Hail Mary for a while since they need to build me some place to live. Rocky keeps telling me they won't want to eat me, which is a relief. It was a concern there for a little while.

Do you have a calendar up there in space with you?

Hi there, anon! The ship's signal must have been splotchy with the asteroid belt we're passing through right now. I got your transmission now, though!

And... well, it depends.

I guess when we were making inventory lists, we didn't think the crew was going to need a calendar since it was a suicide mission. But! I could probably write a basic program to make a calendar of Earth years to figure out exactly what day it is back home.

Me and Rocky both seem to use the Eridian calendar now, since that's where we are going. They use everything in base 6. So that means the years on Erid don't match years on Earth [plus a whole lot of physical science to back it up, but I won't bore you with that.]

So... yeah! An Eridian calendar, but no Earth one. Why? Is it some important time of year back home?
